A measure that would change Utah's old "Ski Utah" license plate to one that has the slogan "Life Elevated" passed 46-24 out of the House on Monday.

SB73 instructs the state Division of Motor Vehicles to begin issuing the new plates once it has run out of stock of the "Ski Utah" plate.

The bill's House sponsor, Rep. Roger Barrus, R-Centerville, said that within a few years, he would like to see only one license plate being distributed by the state. "I think this is a real attractive improvement to our license plates in the state," he said.

Rep. Neil Hansen, D-Ogden, said during debate that he felt it would be better to include a different slogan on the state license plate, something such as "This is the place."

"Looking at the whole of the state, I think 'This is the place' is something where people can be proud of the whole state."

The measure will now go to the governor for his approval.
