Bill > HCR003

This concurrent resolution supports Rugby League in Utah by formally recognizing the sport's value and potential for community development. The resolution highlights that Utah is home to the USA Rugby League Commission and hosts the most Rugby League teams in the United States, while emphasizing the sport's global popularity and distinct characteristics from other rugby codes. The Legislature and Governor express support for the continued growth, promotion, and development of Rugby League within the state, and encourage public and private stakeholders, including local governments, school districts, and community organizations, to support initiatives that introduce and expand access to the sport. The resolution notes that supporting Rugby League aligns with Utah's goal to become "The State of Sport" and can contribute to promoting healthy lifestyles, expanding sporting opportunities, and potentially attracting regional, national, and international competitions that could boost local economic development and tourism. As a final action, the resolution directs that copies be sent to the Utah Sports Commission, Utah Rugby League Clubs, USA Rugby League Commission, and Pacific Sports International, thereby formally documenting and distributing the state's support for the sport.
