NEWLY ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE Paul Cutler (fourth from left) is sworn in along with other members of the House. By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com SALT LAKE CITY—There was an energy at the Capitol on Tuesday as lawmakers took their seats in the House and Senate to start the 2023 legislative session. In the next 45 days, bills will be considered and passed and decisions will be made that impact Utahns throughout the state. “It’s a little like the first day of school,” said Rep. Karen Peterson, R-Clinton. “You’re excited but also nervous.” Peterson plans to run a bill dealing with school safety. “People have contacted us with concerns,” she said. “We’re not just thinking about the physical building, Davis School District has done a good job with that, but a specific pipeline to school counselors to learn how to get ahead of the incident and make sure kids are in a good place.” The bill would provide funding to pay those who are already working as paraprofessionals, teachers or others and give them the opportunity to go to school and become a counselor, said Peterson. “I also want to get a parent portal so they can ask questions about how to handle a situation with their child at school.” Maybe they’re the subject of bullying, she said. “What are the parent’s rights? They might not know they have the opportunity to change their child’s schedule to come later or leave earlier or move online if the kid is having a hard time. I want to make that easier to navigate. We all know that students have the most success when the parents and the school work together.” To kick off the session both House and Senate leadership welcomed new members and talked about the responsibilities facing legislators.

Let us commit now to be a body of foresight.” “Coming into this session, it has become crystal clear to me that as a state, and by extension, as elected representatives, we stand at one of those rare moments where our choices will ripple for generations,” said Speaker Brad Wilson. “I cannot say it more clearly Please see SESSION: pg. 2
