Salt Lake County Legislative Resources
As Utah's most populous county, Salt Lake County has an important relationship with our fellow Utah counties and with the State and Federal government.
Every year the Utah Legislature takes up a broad range of issues that affect Salt Lake County's one million residents. The process works best when citizens communicate with their elected officials.
This website is intended as a resource to facilitate communication between citizens and their representatives.
