In a vote split along party lines, the Utah Legislature’s Legislative Management Committee voted Tuesday to submit an amicus brief opposing the injunction on the state’s abortion trigger law.
“I believe that what we did was constitutional, I believe this motion is in order,” Adams said during Tuesday’s meeting.
In response to a question from state Rep. Jennifer Dailey-Provost, D-Salt Lake City, regarding other instances in which the Legislature proactively submitted an amicus brief, its general counsel, John Fellows, said, “Boy, that’s a good question. You’re making me dredge up things from my memory. I’m not prepared to answer that. We’ve done two or three, probably.”
“I feel like if we’re going to do something like this and make it a standard, what I want to make sure is that we have good legal ground to doing it that we’re not doing it for political reasons or political arguments. But we’re on solid legal ground and we have the backing of our attorneys, as well as the law in making these arguments,” said Sandy Democrat Rep. Andrew Stoddard.
