ICYMI: A bill that creates a new Utah state flag won't go to a referendum after organizers opposed to the new flag failed to gather enough signatures.
. If it was successful, voters would have decided the fate of SB31, which designates a new state flag and designates the current flag as the state's "historical flag."found that about 48% of Utahns said they either strongly supported or somewhat supported the new flag design, compared to 35% who strongly or somewhat opposed it.
Sen. Dan McCay, R-Riverton, who sponsored SB31 and championed the effort for a new state flag, told Deseret News he was thrilled with those polling numbers. "Flags are important, and people don't realize how important they are when their flag isn't one that they wear on a T-shirt or fly at their home," he said last week. "I'm seeing it as I drive down the road. There are already stores popping up with people selling things that have the new state emblem on it."
Despite the referendum failing, some changes to SB31 are still expected before the bill goes into effect on March 9, 2024.calling for the historic flag to be flown at the state Capitol at all times and at all state buildings during all state holidays and any "special occasions."to amend state law so that the historic flag flies over the new design in times when both flags are flying on the same pole. That change is expected to be made before the flag flies for the first time.
