2025 Legislative Recap
As the 2025 Utah Legislative Session comes to a close, we at HEAL Utah are reflecting on the policies that will shape our state’s environment and the health of its people.

While we saw some notable victories, there is still much work to be done. Here’s a look at what passed, what didn’t and what comes next.
