UAC is the advocate for all 29 Utah counties. Policy created at local, state, and federal levels impacts county operations and funding. We work with legislators, agencies, cities and towns, AOGs, and others to achieve results for county governments.
​
Our primary goals are to:
-
obtain critical funding to provide services at the local level;
-
safeguard our counties and their ability to self-govern; and
-
enhance county code.
​
Legislative advocacy is an essential service provided to members. UAC contracts with lobbyists at the state and federal levels to achieve priorities when needed.
​
Policy positions and priorities are established under the direction of our elected county members. All members are encouraged to participate in Policy Steering Committees throughout the year to help shape these discussions.
