Utah House committee unanimously opposes Nevada test
SCR5's sponsor, Sen. Gene Davis, D-Salt Lake, said the resolution "really professes our opposition as a state legislature."
"This is a tough one for me," said Rep. John Mathis, R-Vernal, who said he is a strong supporter of the military. He explained that his wife's mother was a downwinder and died of cancer.
"I don't believe that young kids should be raised without parents because of risks placed on them by the government knowingly," Mathis said.
The resolution made it out of committee with unanimous support and now awaits consideration on the House floor.
