2001-02 Legislative Committees

The 2001 General Session meets from January 15 to February 28, 2001. The period between the end of one General Session and the next is called the Interim. Different, but in some cases very similar, sets of committees meet during each different period of the legislative year. Below are links to information about both sets of committees. (More background is available.)

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.)
