Bill > HJR021

This joint resolution amends the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure to introduce and define a "district court panel" as a group of three district court judges convened to decide a case, and to establish procedures for transferring cases to such panels, including when the Attorney General, Governor, or Legislature can initiate this. It also modifies rules regarding the consolidation and transfer of actions to improve efficiency, clarifies procedures for disqualifying judges, and adjusts the rules for changing judges, specifically addressing how these changes apply when a district court panel is involved. The resolution also includes provisions for its effective date and instructions for its enrollment.
