Utah is getting a new state flag next year but how it is flown may not be exactly what the Utah Legislature approved earlier this month.
while transitioning the current design into the state's "historical" flag. The bill goes into effect on March 9, 2024, the earliest date the new flag can be adopted.
It calls for the historic flag to be flown at the Utah Capitol at all times and at all state buildings during all state holidays and any "special occasions." The order also asks for the Legislature to place the historic flag over the new design in times when both flags are flying on the same pole. The bill currently states the new flag will be flown above the older design beginning on March 9, 2024.
Sen. Dan McCay, R-Riverton, who sponsored SB31, tweeted Tuesday afternoon that he plans to create a future bill to incorporate the changes Cox proposed.

Letter: Utah’s legislative session has surpassed all others in its hideousnessI read in this morning’s Tribune that our illustrious state Legislature has again taken Utah taxpayer funds and made a $500,000 donation to the anti-wolf lobbyist organization Hunter Nation, to educate midwestern hunters on the evils of protecting the gray wolf under the Endangered Species List. This is in addition to the $2 million awarded a few years back, and totals more than $5 million of Utah taxpayer funds to these organizations over a decade. $5 million of Utah taxpayer money used to lobby Congress that we need to delist the gray wolf, because it’s apparently decimating too much cattle and sheep in Utah? Or is it really about keeping a robust hunting season for the shrinking population of Utahns who still participate?
