Pivotal Bills

In 2014, the Utah Legislature shot down S.B. 12 bill to raise the legal smoking age from 18 to 21. [9] Had the bill passed, Utah would have been the first state to do so, and Salt Lake City would have been the second major city (after New York City) to raise the minimum age to 21. [9] However, the Utah Senate killed the bill after a 12-16 vote on March 3. [9]
