On February 3, the Utah House Government Operations Committee amended HB 22 to require that circulators for primary candidate petitions must be registered votes, and to ban paying such circulators.

Both parts of the bill violate U.S. Supreme Court precedents. The Court struck down a Colorado law banning payment for circulators in 1988 in Meyer v Grant. The Court struck down another Colorado law requiring circulators to be registered voters in Buckley v American Constitutional Law Foundation in 1999.
