SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A House committee will consider a resolution that would urge the federal government to support a new nursing home for Utah's veterans.
House Resolution 9 would encourage the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to help Utah with efforts to build an additional home.
The resolution to be considered Tuesday says constructing the nursing home would express gratitude to veterans for their service.
The Utah Department of Veterans Affairs currently runs a full-time facility in Salt Lake City and a partially operational one in Ogden.
Rep. Curtis Oda, a Clearfield Republican, is sponsoring the resolution.
