HJR 21 Utah House · 2026 General Session

Joint Resolution Amending Rules of Civil Procedure

HJR 21 amends Utah's Rules of Civil Procedure to clarify procedures for three-judge district court panels. It adds a definition for "district court panel" in Rule 1, updates Rule 42 to address case transfers when such panels are convened, and revises Rules 63 and 63A to specify judge disqualification and replacement processes in these panels. The changes directly affect Utah district courts handling cases requiring three-judge panels, including parties, attorneys, and judges involved in those proceedings. The resolution makes procedural adjustments without altering substantive law or requiring funding.
