The Legislative Committee studies legal and legislative matters relevant to libraries and librarianship in Utah, disseminates information on these issues to librarians, recommends library legislation to be submitted to the Utah State Legislature, lobbies senators by attending hearings, advising on pertinent matters, and acting as a resource for legislators on libraries and related matters, organizes the lobbying effort of ULA members through legislative newsletters, and organizes telephone information and notification networks, etc.

The ULA Legislative Committee has invited Dave Jones to make a presentation on the benefits a lobbyist can provide our organization. Dave is a former six-term member of the Utah House of Representatives, where he served four years as the Minority Leader.
