Senate unanimously honors Utah's class of 2020 with concurrent resolution
Summary
Senate Concurrent Resolution 501 recognizes and congratulates Utah’s 2020 graduating class, notes estimated 42,000–43,000 public high school graduates and praises schools and families for creative local ceremonies; the resolution passed unanimously on the floor.
The Utah Senate adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution 501 to honor the 2020 graduating class, noting that approximately 42,000 to 43,000 students were expected to graduate from public high schools in the 2019–2020 school year and praising school districts, colleges and families for creative graduation ceremonies amid closures.
Senator Thornwood introduced the resolution and asked the secretary to read it into the record. The text cites participation statistics and commends public and private educational institutions for adapting events (drive‑through graduations, fence displays, virtual ceremonies) to recognize students. Multiple senators offered remarks congratulating graduates, and several graduates present in the gallery were recognized.
The resolution passed with a recorded vote (transcript: 28 yeas, 0 nays, 1 absent) and will be transmitted to the House for final concurrence per legislative process.
