Background
Types of committees: The Utah Legislative year is divided
up into two periods, the
General Session and the Interim. There is a similar but different
set of committees for each of these two periods.
The General Session starts the
3rd Monday in January and ends at midnight exactly 45 calendar days
later (in the first week of March.) The Interim is all the rest of the
year. Interim meetings usually start in April and end in November.
During the session, Standing Committees consider bills that change
Utah state statutes. Appropriations committees work on financial
budget matters. During the Interim, Interim Committees (organized
by topic reflecting the sessions's Standing Committees) study
legislative topics and prepare legislation to be introduced in the
next General Session.
(The activities of Legislative Committees are governed by a
set of Legislative Rules. These rules
may help you understand the operation of the committees.)
