House of Representatives
The Utah House of Representatives is comprised of 75 men and women, representing every area of the state, elected to two-year terms. The Utah Legislature meets annually in a General Session, convening in mid-January and adjourning “sine die” after 45 calendar days (not including President’s Day). Special Sessions may be called at any time during the year either by the Governor or by a two-thirds vote of the Legislature.
The Utah Legislature is a civilian-run form of government, meaning legislators not only serve their constituents at the Capitol, but are also business people, farmers and ranchers, teachers, lawyers, stay-at-home parents, and more. Each brings a unique background and perspective, all sharing the common goal of making Utah the best state to live, work, learn, and play.
On the first day of the beginning of each term (two years), the House elects a presiding officer, known as the Speaker of the House. The House Majority and Minority caucuses also elect members to serve in leadership positions including Majority/Minority Leader and Whip.
