Gov. Spencer Cox has also asked lawmakers to amend the law to ensure Utah’s “historic state flag,” when displayed with the new flag, is flown higher than the modern banner.
“I am grateful for the tens of thousands of Utahns who participated in designing and selecting this new flag. Just as we have much to be grateful for from our ancestors, I hope that today’s Utahns will be worthy of the mantle that has been placed upon them to preserve and build Utah’s legacy for our children, grandchildren, and generations to come,” Cox said in a news release Tuesday afternoon.
Additionally, Cox is asking for an amendment to the bill that will require the historic flag to be flown above the modern version whenever the two are displayed together. seeking to put the change up for a public vote. They need to collect 134,298 signatures from registered Utah voters by April 12. That total must include eight percent of active voters in 15 of Utah’s 29 Senate districts. If they’re successful, the new flag will be on hold until voters have their say in either 2023 or 2024.
