Organizational History

The Utah State Legislature is the state legislature of the U.S. state of Utah. It is a bicameral body, comprising of the Utah House of Representatives and the Utah Senate. Each body elects it own leadership and is responsible for determining its own rules of procedures. The members of both houses of the Utah Legislature are elected on a partisan basis, and they conduct their proceedings including the elections of leadership according to membership in a Party Caucus. Senators serve four-year terms with half the seats in the Senate being up for election every two years and Representatives serve two-year terms with all the seats in the House being up for election every two years. Legislative committees serve an important function in the legislative process, as the majority of the debate and discussion of a bill is done in Committee and public comment is generally accepted at this point in the bill process. Amendments can be made to the bill and be given more consideration than they would on the Floor of the House or Senate. Utah has three types of legislative committees, these are: Appropriations Subcommittees, Standing Committees and Interim Committees.
