Keeping Up With the Legislature has Never Been
Easier
With the start of the 2019 legislative session Utah residents
turn their attention to the business of state government. Utah.Gov
and the Utah State Legislature work to provide useful tools to help
Utahans track legislation and learn more about what legislators are
proposing.
Last year the legislature launched a newly redesigned
legislative website, le.utah.gov. The site helps Utah residents
connect and interact with their legislators. Utah residents can
learn about proposed and past legislation as well as listen to
committees and floor debates.
“One of the primary goals of the Utah House is to be accessible
to the public,” said Speaker of the House Brad Wilson. “In doing
so, we need ensure that we are equipping our constituents with the
tools to have meaningful interactions. The Department of Technology
Services provides platforms that make the work we do more effective
and meaningful. I’d encourage citizens to use them and engage.”
At le.utah.gov residents and interested parties can:
- Find all proposed legislation
- Create an account
- Create lists for tracking
legislation
- Track your lists from any device
- Follow the process and see status
- See sponsors for legislation
The legislature also provides the Bill Watch mobile application,
Bill Watch helps residents who want to keep up with legislative
issues search for bills by topic, legislator's name, or bill
number. The app will send updates directly to a mobile device via
push notification. Bill Watch users can create and share lists of
legislation with other concerned residents.
Find Bill Watch in the iTunes or Google Play Store to download
the app.
“These simple online services help improve communication and
make information about the legislative process easily accessible to
all,” said Brad Wilson, Speaker of the House of Representatives.
“They are an important tool to demonstrate our accountability to
the people of Utah.”
Another way to learn more about what goes on at the capitol and
on le.utah.gov is the capitol virtual tour. Website visitors can
explore the capitol by moving in any direction in the 360-degree
image and viewing points of interest that include exterior
buildings, legislative chambers, artwork and building information.
The tour’s exclusive access to the capitol provides stunning views
that are not usually available to visitors.
