House approves new Utah license plate design that expands 'Ski Utah' theme
Summary
The House passed Senate Bill 73 to update Utah’s Ski Utah license plate, adding Red Rock imagery and the state slogan “Life Elevated.” Sponsors said the design was coordinated with tourism and safety agencies; the House recorded the passage and will forward the bill to the Senate for the president’s signature.
Representative Perez told members the state’s Ski Utah license plate had not been updated in 21 years and presented a sample of a new plate that blends winter and Red Rock imagery and adds the state slogan "Life Elevated." "The intent is to take the old Ski Utah license plate and to incorporate... Red Rock Country," Perez said, and noted the design was developed with the Office of Tourism, the Governor's Office, Ski Utah, the Division of Motor Vehicles and the Highway Patrol.
Sponsor Perez said the new plate would phase in as the current plates were exhausted, likely over about a year, and that the Centennial plate would remain available for a few more years. Representative Hansen and other members asked clarifying questions about the slogan and design; Perez said the plate would retain the "Greatest Snow on Earth" advertising while expanding imagery.
The House approved Senate Bill 73 and the Clerk recorded the bill as passed and to be signed and forwarded to the Senate for the President’s signature. The transcript records 46 yes votes and 5 absences; the count of 'no' votes in the transcript was unclear and is therefore reported as unclear in this account.
