On February 1, the Utah Senate unanimously passed SB 13, which, among other things, moves the petition deadline for a newly-qualifying party from February 15 of the election year, to November 30 of the year before the election. The Senate did slightly amend that deadline, from November 15 to November 30, in response to complaints that a petition deadline in the year before an election is far too early.
Because the Senate amended the bill, it now returns to the House.
I wish legislators could be held in contempt of court when they continually move deadlines back that had previously been moved forward due to a court order.
