Summary

The committee unanimously favorably recommended SB 145, a technical bill to adjust a senate district boundary that currently divides about two dozen homes in Stansbury Park, Tooele County.

The House Economic Development Workforce Services Committee unanimously favorably recommended SB 145, technical senate district boundary adjustments, to fix a split neighborhood in Stansbury Park that left roughly two dozen homes divided by a senate district line.

Representative Bollinger said the subdivision did not exist when redistricting occurred, leaving the district line bisecting the new development. He provided a map and described the change as "a minor change" to align the subdivision with a single senate district and to ease election administration for the county clerk.

Committee members asked clarifying questions about the number of households affected and whether the change would disturb equal distribution of population across districts; the sponsor said about two dozen households are affected and that the adjustment did not break equal-distribution requirements. No public testimony was offered.

The committee favorably recommended the technical district adjustment and added the bill to the consent calendar for the floor. The committee recorded the motion and passed it unanimously.
