SALT LAKE CITY A bill that seeks to rename Dixie State University advanced to through both houses of the Utah Legislature on Wednesday following a passionate debate at the Utah Capitol.
The Utah Senate voted 26-3 in favor of the first substitute HB278, sponsored by Sen. Don Ipson, R-St. George. Since the bill was substituted after it passed the House of Representatives last month, the House was forced to re-vote the measure; the legislative body voted 48-23 late Wednesday afternoon in favor of the amended bill. It s now on its way to Gov. Spencer Cox s desk for consideration.
The original HB278 had cleared the House of Representatives with a 51-20 vote on Feb. 10, but the bill wasn t taken up by the Senate Education Committee until earlier this week. In fact, a group of the university s students traveled up from St. George to the Utah State Capitol last month to protest the Senate s pause of the bill at the time.
