BREAKING Utah will soon have a new state flag after final passage in the legislature.
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah will soon have a new flag flying over the Beehive State after a final vote in the Senate.
Senate Bill 31, which will officially create the new flag, passed 18-to-9 on Thursday and now heads to the desk of Gov. Spencer Cox, who has been supportive of the bill and updated flag. The Senate vote came moments after the House voted 40-to-35 in favor of the new design. A move to a new flag has been in the works for over a year, but had become a hot-button topic during the current legislative session as many voiced their disapproval. The old flag won't be going away and will remain as a ceremonial flag.
