The Utah Death with Dignity bill, HB74, receives a public hearing in the House Health and Human Services Committee on February 15. The bill fails to move forward.

HB93 is introduced by Utah State Representative Jennifer Dailey-Provost. The bill does not advance.

Utah State Representative Jennifer Dailey-Provost introduces the End of Life Options Act (HB121). The Rules Committee of the Utah House of Representatives votes not to allow the bill a committee hearing.

Utah State Representative Rebecca Chavez-Houck sponsors an aid-in-dying bill in each of four legislative sessions:

• 2018: HB210, the Utah End of Life Options Act goes to the House, where a motion to strike the enacting clause is passed by a constitutional majority. The bill does not pass.
• 2017: HB76, the End of Life Options Act, is tabled in the Utah House Health and Human Services Committee on a 9 to 3 vote.
• 2016: HB 264, the End of Life Options Act, is heard by the Utah House Health and Human Services Committee and referred for further study. The Health and Human Services Interim Committee hears the proposal, but takes no further action.
• 2015: HB 391, the Utah Death with Dignity Act is heard in the Utah House Health and Human Services Committee and sent for further study during an interim session.

A December 2015 UtahPolicy.com poll found that 58 percent of Utahns support physician assisted-dying legislation.

The poll found the only religious group opposed to Death with Dignity are members of the Latter Day Saints (LDS), who self-identify as “very active.” Those identifying as “somewhat active” favor the idea of a right-to-die law 79-16 percent, and “not active” favor 87-11 percent. Seventy-six percent of Catholics, 80 percent of Protestants, and 94 percent of non-religious people favor the idea.
