Bill > HJR008

This joint resolution proposes to amend the Utah Constitution by adding a new section to Article XVI that establishes a constitutional right to work, which would make it unlawful for employers, corporations, associations, the state, or its political subdivisions to deny employment to an individual based on their labor union membership, affiliation, resignation, or refusal to join or affiliate with a labor union or employee organization. If approved by voters at the next regular general election, the amendment would take effect on January 1, 2027. The proposed provision is essentially a "right-to-work" law, which is designed to protect workers from being compelled to join or pay dues to a labor union as a condition of employment, and it aims to prevent discrimination against individuals based on their union status. The lieutenant governor is directed to submit this proposed constitutional amendment to voters for their consideration.
