Governor Cox prepares to address House before adjournment

The 2022 General Legislative Session in Utah convened on March 4, 2022, with a focus on concluding the legislative agenda. The session began with Representative Barlow addressing the House, indicating that the committee had waited for the Senate to finalize its business before proceeding to adjourn. This sentiment was echoed by Representative Bartle, who humorously noted the lengthy wait experienced in the Senate.

As the meeting progressed, Representative Brammer reported that the joint committee had notified Governor Cox of the legislature's readiness to adjourn. In response, the governor requested to address the House of Representatives prior to the final adjournment.

Following this, a motion was made to resolve into the committee of the whole, which passed with unanimous support. Governor Cox and First Lady Abby Cox were acknowledged for their presence, and the atmosphere was celebratory as representatives congratulated each other on the completion of the session.

In summary, the meeting marked the conclusion of the legislative session, with key acknowledgments made to the governor and a collective sense of accomplishment among the representatives. The next steps involve the governor's address before the official adjournment of the session.
