This is Lane Beattie of the Salt Lake Chamber with your Utah Business Report.
The Utah business community commends the Utah legislature for another great year for business. The 2014 General Session wrapped up in March.
Utah's economy is in a spectacular position because of the leadership of our Governor, Legislature and our great business community working together to bring compromise for important progress for our state.
Throughout the legislative session, the Salt Lake Chamber Vote website monitored the course of 298 bills that had an impact on business in Utah. Through the Chamber Vote website, more than 9,800 emails were sent to state representatives, asking them to act on policy decisions.
Eleven of 13 business community priority bills passed, and the average of "yes" votes on priority bills stood at 83 percent. With a 93 percent passage of supported bills, 2014 was an excellent year for Utah's business community.
The newly released Salt Lake Chamber 2014 Legislative Scorecard highlights how the business community's policy priorities fared. You can find the Legislative Scorecard at slchamber.com. That's slchamber.com. This is Lane Beattie on KSL News Radio.
