RESOLUTION
Result .
WHEREAS, the electorate of the State of Utah in the general
election held November 2, 1948, overwhelmingly adopted a constitutional
amendment to the Constitution of the State of Utah providing: "The
formation of the grand jury and the powers and duties thereof shall
be as prescribed by the Legislature;" and
WHEREAS, notwithstanding the desires of the electorate thus expressed
and the serious need for legislation to implement the said amendment, the
Legislature has never enacted appropriate legislation, but has simply
permitted the statute in existence prior to the adoption of said amend-
ment to remain unmodified; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake City, Utah feel
that in the interest of good government and to preserve public confidence
in governmental officials regular sessions of the grand jury should be
held at stated intervals and appropriate legislation should be enacted
to reach such result.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF CITY COMMISSIONERS OF
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH that it does hereby respectfully request the Governor
of the State of Utah and the Utah State Legislative Council to make
certain that legislation is enacted at the next session of the Legislature
to properly implement said constitutional amendment and to provide for
regular grand jury sessions to be held at stated intervals and thus give
effect to the desires of the electorate as expressed in said constitutional
amendment.
