A proposed bill in Utah aims to transfer authority and elections oversight from the lieutenant governor's office to a new state elections office. However, at the request of Governor Cox, the bill has been shelved. The legislation sought to create an independent state agency to assume the role of overseeing elections, but it will not be considered during this legislative session.
