The group focused the evening on practical training: how to find legislators and bills on le.utah.gov, where to read fiscal notes and version histories, and how to follow committee actions — the appointed speakers stressed committees are where much of the substantive work on bills happens.

Don Guymon, the group’s vice chair, led a step‑by‑step demonstration of the legislature website, showing how to use rosters, keyword searches and the bill page features that list sponsors, last action and fiscal notes. “If you want to start tracking a bill, get notifications of bills,” Guymon said during the walkthrough, adding that the site marks additions (red underline) and deletions (blue strike‑through) in bill text and that committee votes and the “last action” fields are essential for following progress.

Members also discussed using AI tools to speed review. Several attendees described a preview of CitizenPortal.ai that summarizes bills and attempts to rank constitutional fit; a presenter warned the tool “is still learning” and said it should not be taken as definitive legal advice. “Do not take its word for that,” one member said, urging cross‑checking AI summaries against the original bill text and fiscal notes.

Organizers urged members to sign up for volunteer slots to monitor committee hearings, noting the legislature posts daily committee schedules. Olivia (identifying herself as Tina Horlocker’s daughter and a volunteer coordinator with Utah Eagle Forum) outlined a plan to assign volunteers to 1–2 hour committee blocks, take notes and enter findings into a shared Google Doc that coalition partners could use for coordinated action.

The meeting closed with announcements about upcoming speakers and local events, and with an appeal to recruit neighbors and younger voters to join the group’s efforts during the session’s busiest weeks.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Davis County Conservatives-Session 2-\"How To Read A Bill\"-Biblical Citizenship","oneSentenceSummary","Tina Horlocker, chair of the Davis County Conservatives, opened Thursday’s meeting by urging members to “stay in touch for those 45 days” and to help monitor the state legislative session that began this week.","taxTitle","Davis County Citizen Journalism, Davis County, Utah","taxId",79917,"location","Utah","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6767222,"Members identify HB 81 as fluoride bill to watch; organizers urge committee mobilization",4029,4029545,-1,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3114885-7c50db49b2e766f2aa12be7e600874e6&start=4029&end=0","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3114885-7c50db49b2e766f2aa12be7e600874e6/thumbnail_4029545.jpg","/articles/6767222/Utah/Members-identify-HB-81-as-fluoride-bill-to-watch-organizers-urge-committee-mobilization","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6767222-18b80048cd6a4c7dc58064c94ffe4b19/orig.mp4?Expires=1770513536&Signature=Mjgcz136BZ93XaPLiXEma9LpbiFOSZgGpZJ-oqVz~tQuz0up0D0hQIXPMk70e5bD4ka~ZP1kGE3atzM4vXPoQ1Fb~Ak4e69ukxv9PEuq6VhFAXpEmNpvncjjSzcf2IhBHe8xBqEd~HYgmIJgSE7ng1TlDDSuZfnRePTEZLdX68LjGzfOmros05NbwBfXYY2TnqBYi19Ro1ZkxL-ypkgkza7CkY1OVLco2zMXqXMBlU8DHSVCMulc5WxpzqSWv3roQyyMmVNVpOFuaCIskndvVaQ-~TtsBuc~207npCR2ULkLU76r7saGwfEHJ-u-xPcDUB8QBcz~bxLpbT9g9S7B6g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Members at the Davis County Conservatives meeting urged organized turnout to support what they described as a bill to remove fluoride from public water supplies. A presenter identified the measure as HB 81 and said Representative Stephanie (surname used in discussion) sponsored the proposal; she told the group the bill “takes it right out of the water” and that, if passed, the health department would provide fluoride only by request.

The presenter urged members to follow the bill’s committee assignment closely, saying it was slated for the House Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment Committee and warning that committee attendance is key: “You have to know when the bills are being heard by the committees because when you really have a voice is in committee,” she told attendees. Members offered to share Messenger groups and other rapid‑alert systems to notify supporters when the bill is scheduled for a hearing.

The transcript of the meeting contains some inconsistent references to bill numbering in the course of discussion; speakers repeatedly referred to HB 81 in this context. The group recommended tracking the bill on le.utah.gov, signing up for notifications, and preparing public testimony should the measure appear on a committee agenda.

No formal vote occurred at the meeting; members were asked to sign up as volunteers to attend committee hearings in person or via Zoom and to submit public comment.","Members at the Davis County Conservatives meeting urged organized turnout to support a measure they identified as HB 81 to remove fluoride from public water supplies.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6767215,"Local parents urge scrutiny of HB 83 after personal DCFS experiences; meeting hears calls to curb powers",0,6305680,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3114885-7c50db49b2e766f2aa12be7e600874e6&start=6305&end=6305","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3114885-7c50db49b2e766f2aa12be7e600874e6/thumbnail_6305680.jpg","/articles/6767215/Utah/Local-parents-urge-scrutiny-of-HB-83-after-personal-DCFS-experiences-meeting-hears-calls-to-curb-powers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6767215-a7ed532dd1db7c37230c32f934764f67/orig.mp4?Expires=1770513536&Signature=mEQLwu~0A8oGXAmg04Awuhn-nDvoR3TyT-4lCSGHG24aL3QnOY6uU-gk8euHHj1C9JDUa~fe-tFdbCpQxeP50QVPOIkcO8yum-cTOH4Ggu6SLzLhR4n7KUlmwC6vgl7pzdAPuxAkIm3yjn4KfT3ShuQBWIWMHrH8m~hVSCPQeK3vH5HKCP-Mi2RVvHMw7ICHm3jcIn4uWxiT6g4QeJZfN3Pr0IPldP6bQpIeJpxufFeKjcNP7Unbdgqxm77xRkEW2RPLQNgOTovPCMpQ-k4z2PRbKr6SvyuN0gFS4TBkb2zS2a4iWrWf8GABv477zKsRdiiBfUiJEf4jjNLv4QPP9g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Several attendees at the Davis County Conservatives meeting gave extended, personal testimony about interactions with the Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) and discussed HB 83 — described by speakers as a bill that would broaden DCFS’s authority to obtain warrants, enter homes and assess children.

Dale Hawkins recounted his six‑year litigation against the juvenile court and DCFS, saying the system operates “guilty until proven innocent” for parents and that HB 83 would further expand caseworker powers to write and execute affidavits and warrants. \"This bill... gives them more power than they already have,\" Hawkins said, urging members to contact representatives and vote against the measure.

Olivia (introduced herself as Tina Horlocker’s daughter and a person who was taken into court under DCFS investigation) described her family's experience, said the bill was introduced in response to a high‑profile child death and warned that it would make it easier for caseworkers to enter homes and physically examine children without additional safeguards. She also described HB 33 — a separate bill requiring DCFS to file a police report when it determines a report was knowingly false — as a partial corrective she supports but one that still needs stronger language.

Speakers emphasized deficiencies they see in juvenile court procedure: limits on discovery, allegations withheld from parents, and difficulty obtaining legal representation. The meeting produced no formal resolution; members were encouraged to follow committee schedules and contact legislators with arguments and suggested amendments.

No government representative from DCFS or the bill sponsors spoke at the meeting; the meeting record reflects personal testimony from affected residents and the group’s intention to organize monitoring and outreach.","Members described HB 83 as legislation that would expand DCFS authority to obtain warrants and enter homes; multiple speakers recounted personal or adjacent cases and urged the group to oppose aspects of the bill while supporting measures (like HB 33) that would require DCFS to report knowingly false reports to police.","actionData","errors"]
