A House committee signalled its support Wednesday for the creation of a commission to study and potentially recommend changes to Utah’s 100-year-old state flag, asking the proposal’s sponsor to adjust his legislation before it is sent to the full chamber for debate.
But committee members appeared less enthused about a second state flag bill that presents lawmakers with a ready-made redesign pushed by a private advocacy organization.
“It feels and looks to me like a really great corporate logo,” Rep. Travis Seegmiller, R-St. George, said of the design by the Organization for a New Utah Flag.
