The first week of the 2017 General Session was off to a busy start. I have been working hard to make sure that my bills are ready for committee and for Utah.
Monday
My wife, Vicki, and the Speaker of the House
Taking the oath of office
My cute grandkids and I
I was thrilled to have my wife with me on the House floor for the opening ceremony. My daughter, Jill, joined us. She has been to the opening day of every session. My son, Jason, and his family were also able to be there in the gallery. One of the best parts was getting to see two of my cute grandkids!
Wednesday
The Taylorsville City Youth Council
Visiting with the youth about their policy passions
It was great to let them know what is going on in the legislature this session
On City Youth Council Day on the Hill, the Taylorsville City Youth Council stopped by my office in the Capitol to say hello. It was great to talk with them about some of the issues that will be coming to the floor during this session. They are a smart group of kids and do good work for our community.
Friday
Presenting HJR 6 in committee
I was able to present my first bill in committee today: HJR 6. If it passes, it will help streamline the legislative process in both the House and the Senate.
