AI Summary

This bill enacts the Utah Constitutional Sovereignty Act, which allows the Utah Legislature to prohibit government officers from enforcing or assisting in the enforcement of a federal directive that the Legislature determines violates the principles of state sovereignty. The bill defines key terms such as "federal directive," "government officer," and "local government." It outlines the process for the Legislature to issue a concurrent resolution prohibiting enforcement of a federal directive, including requirements for legislative approval and consultation with the Attorney General. The bill also clarifies that the Legislature's inaction does not imply the federal directive is lawful, and that the Attorney General retains authority to challenge the directive on sovereignty grounds.
