This bill would encourage a study to be done about the health of the Great Salt Lake and drinking water that is available to our children.

This bill allows child care providers to apply for grants that support our child care providers. We know that quality child care providers are necessary.

Utah's consent laws make it to minors are unable to access services to help them quit smoking and vaping without a parent's consent. Some minors won't ask their parents, because they are trying to hide their usage of these products. There is some concern that by making this exception, it opens the door to other exceptions that we may not support (extreme example would be abortion). This bill is very specific in that it ONLY applies to tobacco & nicotine cessation services.
