The Utah House voted March 7 to reappoint Jonathan Ball as the legislative fiscal analyst for a six‑year term, approving SGR 2 under suspension of the rules.
Speaker Lockhart moved that the House consider the resolution under suspension of the rules and urged colleagues to support the appointment, saying Ball and the fiscal staff produce critical fiscal notes and budget work. Representative Dee praised Ball’s “grasp of the state budget” and government accounting practices, and Representative McKay expressed support as well.
The motion to consider the resolution under suspension of the rules was approved by voice vote and the resolution was adopted. The Clerk recorded that SJR 2 received 70 yes votes and 0 no votes. The resolution will be signed by the Speaker Pro Tem and returned to the Senate for the President’s signature.
The reappointment covers a six‑year term intended to protect the office from political turnover by staggering terms for key legislative staff.
