Capitol Trip

Salt Lake City-GYC spent February 6th at the Utah State Capitol watching the Legislative session and educating our representatives.

Despite a snowy start and a few delays the capitol trip was a huge success. GYC was able to watch the reading of H.B. 40 right as they walked into the House session. While sitting in on the Senate session, several bills were read and voted on.

The highlight of the trip came as GYC met with their representatives. GYC was honored to visit with representatives    Jack Draxler, Ed Redd, Curt Webb, Rhonda Menlove, and Lee Perry. They were able to educate us on the whole legislative process and on some of the bills they are currently working on. In return GYC was able to explain some of the issue they see and educate them a little on e-cigarettes.
