The big picture:
As Utah’s 2026 legislative session begins, House Republicans are zeroing in on one core priority — making it easier for families to thrive in Utah.
Why it matters:
Rising costs, technology risks, and education challenges are putting unprecedented pressure on Utah families. This session’s agenda directly addresses each of these pain points.
What’s on the table:
- Cost relief — Tackling rising housing prices, cost of living, and property taxes to help families keep more of what they earn
- Kid safety — New guardrails on social media, AI, and emerging tech to give parents more control and protect children from digital risks
- Education access — Expanding career and technical education so every student has a clear path to success
- Classroom focus — Addressing cell phone distractions to keep schools centered on learning
- College value — Ensuring higher education delivers real return on investment for Utah students
The bottom line:
Every priority circles back to one goal — helping families start, grow, and plant roots in Utah.
