Utah has long been a place where families come first. We know that strong families are the cornerstone of a happy, prosperous society. But even here, families are facing new challenges. Rising costs and other barriers to family formation are causing Utahns to have fewer children than they want. 

The Utah House of Representatives supports pro-family policies that drive economic opportunity, foster social stability, and support the overall health of our people. Over the last several years, the Legislature has taken action to support Utah families by expanding the child tax credit to reduce costs, implementing paid maternity leave for state employees and childcare tax credits for employers, and increasing access to IVF services.

We will continue aligning policy to support marriage and family stability, cut costs for families, and cultivate a culture that encourages and makes it easier to raise children.
