FactVote sums the 12 monthly state offense rates returned by the FBI Crime Data Explorer for each calendar year. The accompanying coverage value is the mean of the 12 monthly population-coverage percentages returned with the same query. These are crimes reported to law enforcement, not all crimes that occurred. Utah's average monthly population coverage remained at or above 95.4% throughout this series, but coverage still varies and does not equal complete statewide reporting. Reporting systems, agency participation, and later revisions can change the published series. Annual observations use December 31; monthly observations use the first of the month. Lines connect consecutive readings and do not supply values between them. Missing observations break the lines.
The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.
Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

FactVote reviewed summary
Authorizes lifetime no-contact injunctions on request for victims of covered federal violent and sexual offenses, with specified termination procedures. Only the subset corresponding to FBI violent offenses is connected.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Why this record is included
The fact measures reported violent offenses per 100,000 people, with incomplete and varying agency coverage. FBI violent crime includes murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, rape, robbery and aggravated assault. Prevention, reporting or a specified offense concerns one component; this is distinct from homicide mortality, nonviolent offenses and all unreported crime. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.
Retained Utah evidence context: Reported violent-crime rate. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

FactVote reviewed summary
Provides automatic citizenship for qualifying internationally adopted adults who meet the specified entry, adoption, presence and conduct conditions. Naturalization does not change birthplace.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Why this record is included
Foreign-born residents include naturalized citizens and lawfully and unlawfully present noncitizens. A provision about a particular immigration status concerns only a subset of that population; it does not change a person’s birthplace. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.
Retained Utah evidence context: Residents who are foreign-born. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.
2.Acquisition of citizenship for certain adopted individuals born outside the United States(a)In generalChapter 2 of title III of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1421 et seq.) is amended by inserting after section 322 the following:323.Acquisition of citizenship for certain adopted individuals born outside the United States(a)In generalAn individual born outside the United States shall automatically acquire United States citizenship, on the date that is 120 days after the date of the enactment of this section, if all conditions under subsection (b) have been fulfilled.

Spencer Cox signed HB 101. Exempts an individual from undergoing a background check for the sale or transfer of a firearm that is regulated under the National Firearms Act if the individual has received an approved application within the last 30 days for the sale or transfer of the firearm from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; clarifies that a Federal Firearms Licensee does not need to undergo a criminal background check for the transfer of a firearm to the federal firearms licensee.
Governor Signed. The connection uses the official active enrolled-version highlights; implementation and current enforceability are not inferred.
Why this record is included
Firearm mortality includes suicide, homicide, and other intents. The provision concerns firearm access, safety, or prevention of firearm injury and may address only part of the death count. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

Provides for circumstances where a local government is required to accept a report of a stolen vehicle subject to a rental agreement.
Governor Signed. The session has adjourned. This is the recorded disposition, not a determination of current enforceability.
Why this record is included
The fact measures reported property offenses per 100,000 people, with incomplete and varying agency coverage. Burglary, larceny-theft and motor-vehicle theft are components of the FBI property-crime series. Fraud and identity theft are outside this property-crime series.

Why this record is included
The fact measures reported property offenses per 100,000 people, with incomplete and varying agency coverage. Burglary, larceny-theft and motor-vehicle theft are components of the FBI property-crime series. Fraud and identity theft are outside this property-crime series. A measure about one component is not evidence of a change in total or unreported crime. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

Records come from published fact relationships or reviewed topic records with official supporting evidence and verified Utah officeholder attribution. Historical executive officials require evidence tied to the action date and are excluded from incumbent proposals. Inclusion follows an explicit topic review, a related state fact, or the action’s title and supporting evidence. Explicit topic reviews take priority; repeated actions use the most recent explicit review for this topic. Duplicate actions attached to several facts appear once. This topic match is not a new finding that an action caused a result, and the reviewed collection is selective. Collection reviewed Sep 6, 2026.

Maintaining an unyielding, permanent constitutional baseline that protects individual liberty, while focusing public policy on resolving the root economic, social, and psychological causes of community instability. Real progress does not come from a politician's pen or regulatory overreach; it comes from easing household financial stress, fixing broken local environments, and clearing the logjam in our mental health support systems. When our communities are economically secure, physically revitalized, and mentally supported, violent crime and self-inflicted tragedies naturally recede.

This section matches specific crime, victimization, policing and criminal justice terms in retained, attributed source text from published Utah candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.
Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.

FactVote reviewed summary
Amends the offense of burglary to add intent to commit stalking as a qualifying offense.
House/ filed. The session has adjourned. This is the recorded disposition, not a determination of current enforceability.
Why this record is included
The fact measures reported property offenses per 100,000 people, with incomplete and varying agency coverage. Burglary, larceny-theft and motor-vehicle theft are components of the FBI property-crime series. Fraud and identity theft are outside this property-crime series. A measure about one component is not evidence of a change in total or unreported crime. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

Only current Utah officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.
Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a Utah statistic. Collection reviewed Sep 6, 2026.
Sources & methods
Every section retains its primary sources, units, reporting periods and comparison limits. Maps, graphs and tables use the same observation and cohort. All 50 states are listed; D.C. and territories are excluded. Missing and suppressed values remain unavailable and never become zero.
#1 is the highest measured value. Equal source values share a rank and leave gaps (1, 2, 2, 4). Ranks use source precision and are descriptive, not a score of the state. Survey uncertainty and reporting coverage can limit comparisons. Published U.S. benchmarks are used where available; a state average is not substituted.
Utah snapshots and fiscal sources keep their own dates and accounting scope. National events and federal distribution explainers describe national context. Actions and statements are filtered to Utah, retain their reviewed evidence, and do not establish that a policy caused a measured change.
