Dear Fellow Utahns,
Utah’s economy is in an exceptionally strong position. Throughout the country we are lauded and
envied as the “best state for business.” Our unparalleled quality of life and presence as a growing
national and global business destination affirm the opportunities that our state provides as the best
place to live, work, learn and play.
This is no accident. Utah’s civic and elected officials have made purposeful decisions and demonstrated
economic leadership. Our renowned culture of collaboration has also been vital in addressing the
challenges of an increasingly competitive global economy.
Utah is now at a crossroads that will require tapping the hallmarks of our current success. Among our
most pressing challenges are failing to meet employers’ workforce needs and mounting pressures on
our premier business climate. Additionally, we must make generationally significant decisions regarding
several key capital investments.
The path we choose to address these challenges and opportunities will either stall or accelerate our
current momentum.
As Utah’s business leader, the Salt Lake Chamber believes we should leverage this crossroads to
unleash our state’s industrious workforce, entrepreneurial spirit and innovative talents.
The 2016 Public Policy Guide outlines these pressing challenges and our agenda to solve them. The
guide also lays out the business community’s vision on key issues through principles, positions and
priorities. This publication embodies our mission to stand as the voice of business, to support our
members’ success and to champion community prosperity.
We invite Utah’s elected officials to review the principled positions and strategic initiatives within this
guide and join us in unleashing Utah’s economic potential.
Lane Beattie Lori Chillingworth
President and CEO Chair

Utah’s Economy
at a Crossroads
Once again, the best state for business begins the year with significant economic momentum. Utah’s job growth ranks among the
top states in the country, unemployment is at a seven-year low and businesses have added over 200,000 jobs since the recession.
Our state also has an emerging reputation as a technology and advanced-manufacturing hub, with a dynamic downtown and an
increasingly diversified economy.

Our success is a result of taking advantage of challenges and opportunities for growth. Today, we again face several key decisions that
will either stall or accelerate our current momentum. The choices we make will determine Utah’s future economic success across the
spectrum of industries and interests. We must strategically address this crossroads in order to realize our state’s true economic potential.
Challenges and Opportunities for Utah’s Future Growth:
UNTAPPED POTENTIAL
Many industries are already impacted
by a lack of hourly and skilled talent
as a result of a vibrant economy. There
is untapped potential throughout our
state that can provide a highly creative,
diverse, productive and industrious
workforce. This pressing labor shortage
should also serve as a warning sign to
the future constraints on our economy
from an under-qualified workforce.
WORK IN PROGRESS
Utah’sbusinessleadersareincreasingly
concerned that the combination of
burdensome regulations, an outdated
tax structure and increasing energy
prices could stymie future economic
growth. Our exemplary business
climate may easily deteriorate from a
sense of complacency leading to an
underperforming economy.
GENERATIONAL DECISIONS
Utah has a strong history of making
disciplined, strategic and significant
capital investments that serve as
a catalyst to lasting prosperity.
Generational decisions on several rare
opportunities of significant economic
potential are now being made. If
not handled advantageously, these
opportunities could be squandered
and impair future growth.

The Agenda to Unleash Utah’s Economic Potential
We believe a purposeful, engaged and active statewide business community plays a vital role in Utah’s prosperity. As the state’s
business leader, we support the following strategies, policies and investments to unleash our state’s economic potential for
generations to come.
PROVIDING A WORKFORCE FOR THE FUTURE
n Endowing prosperity – Now, more than ever, education is the surest path to economic success. We support implementing
innovative, accountable and targeted investments through the “Prosperity Through Education” plan which will elevate our
educational outcomes to be globally competitive.
n Action on immigration – Congress must act to fix America’s broken immigration system through reforms consistent with
the principles of the Utah Compact. This must include national visa reform such as the bipartisan I-Squared Act, which is
a concrete solution to meeting our state’s current talent shortage.
n Women in the economy – Unleashing the potential of women’s leadership is critical for economic growth. We support
efforts that promote women in the workforce to meet our current talent shortage, including the ElevateHER Challenge and
the Women in the Economy Commission, among many others.
n Empowering Utah’s heroes – Utah’s veterans, National Guard and active duty service members are a distinct economic
asset. We support efforts to meet our current talent shortage through tapping their expertise, talent and leadership.
n Retraining talent – A modern economy has left many Utahns displaced from career employment. Additionally, too many
capable Utahns are left without employment opportunities because of criminal history. We support recent criminal justice
reforms, as well as public and private sector programs that retrain and empower individuals to achieve renewed opportunity
through employment.
n Investing in people – A healthy workforce is necessary for a productive economy. We support efforts to address our state’s
critical homelessness issue and encourage statesmanship to develop a Utah solution to the Medicaid coverage gap.
ENHANCING UTAH’S PREMIER BUSINESS CLIMATE
n Comprehensive tax reform – Federal and state tax reform must be addressed. We support a complete review of all existing
taxes and fees, as well as strategic incremental reforms, including Congress acting on a solution for the collection of remote
sales and use taxes.
n Smarter regulation – Our federal, state and local regulatory structures must be modernized with smart regulation reforms.
This should include efforts at all levels to reduce the regulatory burden on business, remove outdated or outmoded
regulations, improve data-driven decision-making and ensure regulators abide by overarching principles and performance
metrics.
n Competitive edge – A solid foundation for broader economic growth includes competitive energy prices. We support efforts
to enhance access to competitively priced energy as a key driver of our economic competitiveness.
MAKING TRANSFORMATIVE CAPITAL INVESTMENTS
n Downtown rising – The long-term health and prosperity of downtown Salt Lake City is a benefit to our entire state. We
will encourage significant public and private developments that enhance downtown as the primary location for business,
creativity and culture.
n Prison properties – The Draper and Salt Lake City sites have the potential to foster new economic engines for our state.
We will work with key partners to develop and champion strategic development decisions through disciplined planning and
investments at both sites to positively impact Utah’s economy for decades.
n Flight plan – Salt Lake City International Airport is an extraordinary asset to Utah’s economy. We will continue to champion
the $1.8 billion terminal redevelopment as a major investment in our state’s global competitiveness.
n Downtown innovation district – Utah must continue to invest in our ability to grow in ways that align with disruptive
economic forces. We will join with key partners to develop an innovation district in Utah’s urban center where leading-edge
anchor institutions and companies cluster and connect with start-ups, business incubators and accelerators.
n Infrastructure needs – Utah’s roads, bridges, public transit, utility lines and existing water infrastructure all require attention
if our economy is to continue to thrive. We support disciplined planning and proactive investment in our economic backbones.

Business Climate,
Taxes & Regulation

BUSINESS CLIMATE, TAXES AND REGULATION STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES
n Ingredients for success – We believe low taxes, effective regulation, top-notch infrastructure, a talented workforce,
competitive energy prices and a well-managed, limited government create the environment for economic success.
BUSINESS CLIMATE, TAXES AND REGULATION POLICY POSITIONS
n Tax policy – We support tax policies that strengthen Utah’s economy and properly balance tax simplicity, efficiency,
fairness, revenue sufficiency and transparency.
n No general tax increase – We oppose increases in income, sales or property taxes that are not supported by the public.
n Collection of remote sales and use taxes – We support a simplified regulatory framework under which remote sellers
collect and remit taxes already owed by individual buyers to the State. We believe Congress should enact federal
legislation which provides for fairness and certainty in the marketplace, as well as ease of compliance for remote
sellers. The Chamber’s full statement of principles is available at www.slchamber.com
n Regulation – Regulation has an important role in our economy, creating a level playing field for business while
protecting public safety and the environment. A modern, balanced and transparent regulatory system gives businesses
the confidence they need to hire, invest and innovate. We support regulations that encourage capital investment,
remove uncertainty, improve transparency, reduce the burden on business and protect the public and the environment.
n Alcohol regulation – We support the regulation of alcohol that satisfies public demand, ensures public safety, discourages
underage drinking and supports a welcoming and hospitable climate for tourism and business recruitment efforts.
2016 BUSINESS CLIMATE, TAXES AND REGULATION POLICY PRIORITIES
n Comprehensive tax reform and fiscal flexibility – We believe that federal and state tax reform must be addressed.
We will actively work with elected leaders to find the best process, approach and options for meaningful tax reform,
including a complete review of all existing taxes and fees, while preserving legislative flexibility for future appropriations.
n Repeal of the federal medical device tax – Medical device manufacturing companies play a vital role in Utah’s
innovation economy. We support the repeal of the 2.3 percent medical device excise tax on gross revenue that was
passed in the Affordable Care Act, as it impedes American innovation that creates jobs and saves lives.
n Downtown development – We encourage policies and investments that support downtown Salt Lake City’s role as a
vibrant and diverse regional urban center. This includes supporting the most efficient process, ordinances and business
regulations that encourage economic development.
n Statewide non-discrimination ordinance – We support the standardized statewide non-discrimination legislation
passed in 2015, which protects against employment and housing discrimination while guaranteeing protections for
religious liberty. Utah is now a more welcoming place for all employees.
n First Amendment rights – We support policy efforts to ensure individuals, businesses and organizations are not
restricted in exercising their First Amendment rights.
Complacency and good intentions could easily erode Utah’s
premier business climate. Let’s make business simpler and foster
our free enterprise economy.”

BUSINESS CLIMATE, TAXES & REGULATION
Utah’s rule making process is a cut above the rest.
However, there is room for improvement.
Improving the Best State for Business
Gov. Herbert has designated
35+ Utah cities as “Business
Friendly Communities” for:
n Reaching out to local business
n Reviewing regulations
n Revising unnecessary regulation
n Reporting to the Governor
Citiesshouldunderstandthepurposeofregulation.
To do this, cities should ask themselves:
n How and why is a restriction on a transaction or a
business imposed?
n How can regulations be as simple, fair and enforceable
as possible?
n Is the cost of regulation greater than the benefit it
creates for the community?
n How are existing regulations assessed or evaluated for
continued relevance?
n Is existing regulation lacking or excessive in some manner?
n Do regulations increase quality of life and provide
public value?

REGULATORYCHANGES

Federal reform
We must instill greater accountability in federal regulations
that often present the major regulatory cost to business.
Federal reform should also include removing outdated
or outmoded regulations and smarter regulation through
improved data-driven checks and balances.
n Implement Streamlined Permitting
n Regulatory Accountability Act
n Principled Rulemaking Act
State reform
We must modernize our state’s regulatory system to improve
transparency, establish performance metrics and better
quantify economic impact. This must include retrospective
reviews of economic impact through a central clearinghouse,
which would also evaluate the business impact of a rule
with more analytical rigor.
n Modernize Utah’s rules platform: rules.utah.gov
n Establish central regulatory clearinghouse
n Improve current cost-benefit analysis
n Implement retrospective review of economically
significant rules
Local reform
We must ensure that communities can retain their local
priorities while giving businesses and property owners
certainty through best practices, overarching principles and
performance metrics that will guide the local government’s
utilization of regulation. This is particularly relevant to land-
use regulations that many times serve to stifle rather than to
enhance community development.
n Benchmark, document and share best practices
n Strengthen “Business Friendly Cities Initiative”
n Improve efforts to educate regulators, business
leaders and volunteers on smart regulation
n Encourage implementation of smart growth
principles espoused by Envision Utah
Getting Our Rules Right:
Smart Regulation Reform for Federal, State and Local Government
Regulation reform – We support local, state and federal regulatory reform efforts that reduce the regulatory
burden on business, remove outdated or outmoded regulations, improve data-driven decision making, and
ensure regulators abide by overarching principles and performance metrics.

empowerment of Utah businesses in the global marketplace.
n Downtown development – A vibrant metropolitan center is an important economic engine. In partnership with the
Downtown Alliance, we support investments and policies that reinforce downtown Salt Lake City’s position as a
regional urban center for culture, commerce and entertainment.
n Building Utah’s image – Perceptions of Utah are an important component of our economic success. We support continued
funding of Utah’s business marketing and global branding efforts, which will build Utah’s global brand and keep Utah
“top of mind” as a place for business. We oppose unproductive “message bills” that detract from our state’s image.
n Strategic industry incentives – We support strategic tax incentives that enhance and grow Utah’s economy in strategic
industries such as life sciences, advanced manufacturing, software and IT development, aerospace and defense,
logistics and distribution centers, energy development and financial services.

A Generational Opportunity to Transform Utah’s Economy
Utah has a strong history of making strategic and significant capital investments that serve as a catalyst to lasting prosperity. The
existing and future prison properties should act as transformative economic investments if developed appropriately. As a business
community, we will actively engage to ensure these generational opportunities are not squandered.
n Prison properties – We will work with key partners to develop and champion strategic development decisions through
disciplined planning and investments at both the Draper and Salt Lake City sites. Business leadership is critical to ensure the

disruptive economic forces.

Education,Workforce
& Health Care

EDUCATION STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES
n Innovation, accountability and investment – We stand with Gov. Herbert and the Utah Legislature in supporting a
long-term plan for education. We believe the recommendations in “Prosperity Through Education: The Innovation,
Accountability and Investment Plan for Utah’s Future” – a  five-year plan that will elevate our educational outcomes to
be globally competitive. Download the full plan at www.educationfirstutah.org
n Reading comprehension – School success and college and career readiness begin with the ability to read fluently. Utah must
have continued focus on reading achievement, along with high standards and accountability through rigorous assessment.
n Math proficiency – Investment is needed for technology devices and technology-based assessments to ensure that
Utah will increase the number of residents completing college, specifically STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering
and Math) majors, to qualify themselves for high-skill, high-wage jobs.
n High school graduation – Districts and schools must be held accountable for improving high school graduation rates.
They must ensure students are guided and advised about class choices and post-high school options.
n Achieving the 66% – Utah must invest in grant certificates and degrees to increase completion rates to properly
prepare Utah’s future workforce. This is a must in order to meet the state’s goal to have 66 percent of our adult
workforce holding a postsecondary degree or certificate by the year 2020.
n Improving instruction – Utah must develop and retain highly skilled public school and higher education teachers,
administrators and researchers, while measuring and rewarding superior instructional performance to improve overall
education outcomes.
n Access and affordability – Innovative programs must direct investment to students that are properly preparing themselves
for success in postsecondary education as they move through certificate and degree programs in a timely manner.

2016 EDUCATION PUBLIC POLICY PRIORITIES (Continued)
n Merit-based compensation – We support enhanced merit-based compensation and health care. We also support
extended teacher contracts and differentiated compensation for teacher leaders, teacher mentors, learning community
leaders and coaches.
n Incentivizing college completion – We support instructional performance rewards for increasing postsecondary
completion rates. We also support access and outreach initiatives to increase participation and completion rates of
underserved students.
n Workforce alignment – We support innovative efforts to strategically align the private and public sectors to attract and
train a skilled and talented workforce. This includes increasing certificate and degree programs, including stackable
certificates that meet high-wage, high-demand workforce needs.
n Outcome-based scholarships – We support increased funding to meet the growing demand of scholarships that encourage
students to prepare for college academically and financially by taking a core course of study and saving for college. We
also support expanded and new performance-based scholarships that specifically support lower income students.
WORKFORCE AND HEALTH CARE STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES
n Industrious workforce – A healthy workforce is necessary for a productive business community. We believe that
supporting and strengthening Utah’s workforce enables our economy to thrive. We also support continued and
enhanced employer engagement in health care spending to control costs and increase quality.
n The Utah Compact – The five principles articulated in the Utah Compact represent our guiding principles for immigration
reform. The full text of the compact is available at www.utahcompact.com
WORKFORCE AND HEALTH CARE POLICY POSITIONS
n Health care reform – We support reform that applies market principles to contain costs and improve health. Such
reform includes  increasing transparency of cost and quality, as well as  fostering competition and providing incentives
for  patients, doctors, hospitals and insurers to utilize resources in ways that lead to measurably better outcomes. We
also support reform that addresses the growing epidemic of obesity and lifestyle-induced diseases, resulting in better
health for Utahns.
n Action on immigration – We continue to call on our federal delegation to fix America’s broken immigration system and
advance broad immigration reform that is consistent with the principles of the Utah Compact. Businesses, now more
than ever, need hourly and skilled talent to maintain a vibrant economy.
n Mandatory electronic verification – We support a national electronic verification system for new employees that
reduces the existing regulatory burden on businesses, as well as national visa reform including the bipartisan I-Squared
Act. We oppose revocation of business licenses as a penalty for non-compliance.
2016 WORKFORCE AND HEALTH CARE POLICY PRIORITIES
n Supporting and hiring our service members – We support the reintegration of America’s service members, including
veterans, National Guard and active duty service members, back into our workforce through entrepreneurial opportunities.
n Medicaid expansion – We support proposals that are an alternative to Medicaid expansion and recognize the necessity
of balancing the financial resources of the state with the needs of Utahns. Our community is stronger when we provide
access to health coverage for the poorest among us. This measured approach must include efforts to apply market
principles, such as utilizing Medicaid dollars through the employer market or a health insurance exchange.
n Autism treatment – We support informed action that helps address autism spectrum disorders, which impact all
Utahns. The cost of addressing these disorders should be shared by all Utahns and should not be financed through
an insurance mandate.
n Avenue H – We support expanding Utah’s small business health insurance marketplace as a significant option for meeting
employer and employee needs for health insurance. This includes the exchange’s ability to serve large employer needs.

Infrastructure
& Transportation

Government has a proper, even crucial, role in providing
good infrastructure. Nothing is more fundamental. It’s a bread-
and-butter issue, and the economy depends on it.”
Speaker Greg Hughes
Utah House of Representatives
INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRANSPORTATION STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES
n Economic prosperity – We believe that a safe and efficient transportation system, modern energy and broadband
infrastructure and a reliable, clean supply of water are all integral parts of the foundation for economic growth and
improved life quality.
n Technological innovation – We embrace technological advances and design innovations that enhance the efficiency and
safety of our infrastructure, expand their scope, improve user satisfaction, protect Utah’s environment and modernize
revenue models, including the utilization of performance-based infrastructure financing models.
n Disciplined planning and investment – We believe that because Utah has limited resources and robust growth, long-
term planning and disciplined investment are required to meet our infrastructure needs.
n User fees – We believe users should bear the primary responsibility for funding Utah’s infrastructure.
TRANSPORTATION POLICY POSITIONS
n Core function of government – The creation and maintenance of transportation infrastructure is a core responsibility of
government. Utah’s elected and appointed officials exhibit economic leadership through their continued commitment
to transportation infrastructure investment.
n Utah’s Unified Transportation Plan – This consensus plan is a model for the nation and is our guiding vision for
transportation planning and investments.
2016 INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY PRIORITIES: TRANSPORTATION
n Federal transportation funding – We support a sustainable, predictable and long-term federal investment in Utah’s
highways and public transportation. It is imperative that the reforms to streamline infrastructure projects are
implemented swiftly. The current five-year reauthorization for our nation’s federal transportation infrastructure will
enable business to plan for the future, creating jobs and strengthening the economy.
n Maintain momentum – We support continued investment in our state’s multimodal transportation network as identified
in Utah’s Unified Transportation Plan to address capacity expansion, maintenance and operations of our state’s
significant transportation assets.
n Increased frequency and service – We support efforts to enhance and increase transit service throughout the state
to ensure employees have public transportation options, to address future growth and to improve our air quality. This
includes enhanced early-morning, late-night, weekend and holiday service. Additionally, we support efforts to improve
the transparency, governance and effectiveness of our state’s public transit agencies.

The Utah Transportation Coalition is a group of business and civic leaders working together to protect Utah's
environment, improve the economy and preserve our quality of life through strategic transportation investments.

Benefits of Investing in Utah’s Unified Transportation Plan 2015-2040
This consensus plan is a model for the nation and is our guiding vision for transportation planning and investments. This plan provides
a summary of anticipated 30-year needs for road capacity and maintenance, as well as transit improvements and operations for
Utah’s metropolitan and rural areas. The Unified Plan reflects Utah’s approach to providing transportation choices to its residents,
responding to the anticipated population and job growth and maintaining and preserving the systems that we have in place.

(total twelve year period, 2013-2024):
Salt Lake City International Airport Terminal Redevelopment
The Salt Lake City International Airport has been an economic
catalyst for decades. It has generated opportunity for individuals
and businesses throughout the state. As a growing Delta hub,
providing convenience to downtown Salt Lake City, the airport
is an extraordinary asset to Utah’s economy.
The $1.8 billion Terminal Redevelopment Program will enhance
Utah’s global competitiveness for attracting and retaining
business and investment.
2016 INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY PRIORITIES: TRANSPORTATION (continued)
n Local transportation needs – We support efforts to address the critical need of maintenance funding and improved
transportation options in Utah’s local communities.
n Urban mobility – We support future projects that enhance mobility in our urban centers, including a downtown Salt
Lake City streetcar and a direct TRAX connection between the airport and the University of Utah through downtown.
n Grand Boulevards – We support improvements to revitalize the main arteries in and out of Utah’s capital city that enhance
safety and improve the perception of our state. We also support the thoughtful redesign of downtown way-finding.
n Active transportation – We support increased investments and additional expansion of active transportation projects
that enhance Utahns’ quality of life and improve air quality, including the GREENbike | SLC Bike Share program.
n Mountain transportation – We support the Mountain Accord effort to explore transportation options in the Central
Wasatch Mountains that increase accessibility, are a net-positive for the environment, encourage transit, enhance
Utah’s global brand and pass a rigorous environmental and local public process.
n Improving safety – We support Utah’s primary seat belt law, as employers understand that failing to buckle up harms
others on Utah’s roads. This will protect operators and passengers in vehicles, saving lives, reducing risk and financial costs.
n Airport redevelopment – We support the Salt Lake International Airport as an extraordinary asset to Utah’s economy.
We will continue to champion the $1.8 billion terminal redevelopment, funded without any increases in taxes or state
funds, as a major investment in our state’s global competitiveness. Utah businesses should receive priority in the
development of this project.
2016 INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY PRIORITIES: WATER
n State water strategy – We support the development of a comprehensive state water strategy to identify how to
continue the legacy of meeting our long-term water needs, protect our current water resources and make disciplined
investments. This includes a thorough discussion with all stakeholders about the advantages and disadvantages of how
we pay for future investments in water infrastructure and how best to utilize user fees. We support key aspects of Gov.
Herbert’s methodical approach to addressing water needs. We will evaluate our support for significant investments
once this strategy is completed.
2016 INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY PRIORITIES: ENERGY
n Rural infrastructure – We support rural transportation and energy infrastructure investments, especially in the Uinta
Basin, that increase accessibility, improve safety, protect the environment, drive economic development and respond
to rural needs.
n Energy infrastructure – We support efforts to expand and modernize Utah’s energy infrastructure to take full advantage of
new and existing sources of energy, as abundant, affordable energy contributes directly to our quality of life and strengthens
our economy. Additionally, rate setting should acknowledge the full cost of our energy infrastructure and distribution.

Natural Resources
& Environment

Utah’s unique natural resources, wholesome environment and
strategic positioning as the crossroads of the West are priceless
heritages. They require exceptional business leadership, visionary
approaches and responsible citizenries spanning the generations”
Keith McMullin, CEO, Deseret Management Corporation
Vice Chair, Salt Lake Chamber
NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES
n Balanced economic interests – We view Utah’s spectacular natural environment as a legacy passed to us from
preceding generations. It provides recreational opportunities and natural beauty that attracts great companies and
employees. Our natural resources also keep our economy strong and are an essential part of many business processes.
We must thoughtfully approach how to appropriately balance these economic interests.
n Private sector solutions – We support voluntary, private sector initiatives to promote efficiency, sustainability and
stewardship to improve and preserve our spectacular natural environment.
n Personal responsibility – We recognize that businesses, citizens and government share the same natural environment.
As Utah continues to grow, we must all commit to clean our air, conserve more water, promote responsible development
and preserve first-class access to Utah’s great outdoor recreation assets.
n Economic development – Our air quality, water supply, energy prices and outdoor recreation assets have lasting
implications on our state’s ability to retain and attract new businesses and employees. We view these issues through
the lens of economic development and market principles.
NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT POLICY POSITIONS
n Greenhouse gas – Global warming requires global solutions. Any proposed federal regulation of greenhouse gases
must be designed to prevent the transfer of economic wealth from Utah to other states or nations, minimize economic
hardship on businesses and consumers and allow for alternative means of compliance.
n Nuclear – We support development of nuclear power if economically viable, including the assessment of economic
risks and a policy for safely storing or reprocessing locally-produced spent fuel.
n Federal air quality standards compliance – We must carefully address air quality issues while minimizing the cost to
businesses and ultimately consumers. Utah must meet current federal air quality standards. Without action, we may lose
federal highway funding, garner additional regulatory burdens and impair economic development and corporate recruitment.
n National and state parks – Utah’s national and state parks attract millions of visitors annually and contribute to urban
and rural economies. We support efforts that enhance and promote these precious natural assets.
n Public lands – Utah has vast public lands set aside to benefit future generations. We support efforts to responsibly
manage Utah’s public lands and properly balance development and conservation. These efforts should be inclusive of
all stakeholders and the public.

NATURAL RESOURCES & ENVIRONMENT
Businesses are already learning that water is far too
undervalued by price and are monetizing water’s true
value to their business processes. This is especially
true in Utah, where water rates are notoriously low
for the second-driest state in the nation. This has
as much to do with our geography and high water
quality, as it does with public policy. It is important
that users bear primary responsibility for funding
water infrastructure improvements, which would
further incentivize conservation.
2016 WATER POLICY PRIORITIES
n Water conservation – We support aggressive water conservation efforts to significantly reduce per-capita water use
in communities and investments in Utah’s water data infrastructure to benchmark success. We will also promote
voluntary best practices and innovation in water utilization for businesses through the “Utah | Water is Your Business”
and “Slow the Flow” initiatives.

Business Leadership
The business interest in water is fundamental. Water touches every sector of our economy and impacts our regional and global
competitiveness. This finite resource provides the recreational opportunities and natural beauty that attracts great companies and
terrific employees, and is an essential part of many business processes.
Steps for business to utilize water wisely and promote conservation:
Become
“water aware”
as a business.
Know how much
water your company
is using.
Set clear
conservation goals
and build them into
corporate culture.
Improve, make
changes and keep
conserving.
Share your
successes.

2016 CLEAN AIR POLICY PRIORITIES
n Public awareness and research – We support efforts to help Utah residents better understand the causes and effects
of poor air, including funding research and promoting voluntary actions to improve air quality.
n Federal PM2.5 standards compliance – We remain actively engaged and supportive of the PM2.5 State Implementation
Plan (SIP). We also applaud and support the efforts of Gov. Herbert and local refiners to accelerate implementation
and investments for the Tier 3 Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Standards Program.
n Federal ozone standards – We are concerned that the EPA’s lower ozone standard will disproportionately impact the
Intermountain West due to high levels of “background ozone.” This lower standard will adversely affect our state’s
economy without a clear impact on societal health. We will actively engage in the stakeholder process and support
efforts to clarify the rule to maximize common sense, flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
n Providing transportation options – We support increased transportation funding to improve our transit systems,
active transportation infrastructure and last mile options to reduce mobile emissions and eliminate idling on Utah’s
roadways.
n Cleaner vehicles and fuels – We support incentives to convert state, commercial and private sector fleets to cleaner
vehicles, as well as the necessary fuel and support infrastructure for low emissions vehicles. This includes accelerated
implementation of the Tier 3 Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Standards Program and other alternative fuels.
n Area sources – As area sources become a greater contributor to our emissions inventory, we support efforts to raise
public awareness of building energy performance.
n Small business focus – We support incentives that facilitate small business participation in emission reductions and
minimize costs incurred as a result of further regulations. We also support incentives to help small businesses retrofit
existing structures to improve energy efficiency.
2016 ENERGY AND MINERALS DEVELOPMENT POLICY PRIORITIES
n Competitive edge – We support efforts to enhance access to competitively priced energy as a key driver of our
economic competitiveness. This acts as a foundation for broader economic strength, supporting job creation and rural
economic development.
n Responsible development – We support policies that encourage and facilitate the responsible development,
management and use of natural resources. These essential resources ensure access to a high standard of living and
quality of life, create jobs and provide a solid foundation for broader economic strength.
n Energy efficiency – We promote energy efficiency and cost-effective energy options for businesses in partnership with
the Governor’s Office of Energy Development and the wattsmart® program.
n Public awareness and research – We support efforts to help Utah residents better understand the impact of energy and
minerals on our economy, including supporting funding for improved research to promote innovation and efficiencies.
2016 OUTDOOR RECREATION AND TOURISM POLICY PRIORITIES
n Outdoor and tourism industry – We support  fostering accelerated growth in the outdoor recreation and tourism
sectors of our economy in collaboration with the Office of Outdoor Recreation, Office of Global Branding, Tourism and
Film located in the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED), the Economic Development Corporation of
Utah (EDCUtah) and other key partners.
n Statewide recreation plan – We support the development of a long-term recreation plan that provides additional
facilities to meet growing demand, promotes tourism, improves outdoor access for residents and addresses other
needs. We also support efforts to promote improved outdoor recreation infrastructure and opportunities throughout
Utah and grow rural economies through enhanced recreation and tourism — a concept called “rourism.”
n Life Elevated® – We support funding to promote Utah’s natural beauty to attract tourism and businesses. We also
support long-term efforts and commitments to Utah’s tourism marketing, including the Tourism Marketing Performance
Fund (TMPF).
n Accommodating visitors – We support policies that promote the growth of our state’s convention industries and create
a more welcoming and inclusive nightlife experience for locals and visitors alike.

The Salt Lake Chamber honors legislators who support a pro-economy and pro-business agenda with the title
of “Business Champion.” During the legislative session, Salt Lake Chamber’s Executive Board will designate top
priorities of the business community within this Policy Guide and other critical issues considered on the legislative
floor as “Priority Votes.” The designation of Business Champion is directly tied to a legislator’s voting record on
Priority Votes issued which receive a floor vote in the Senate and the House.
Business leaders are concerned about declining civic engagement. We support the elections reform compromise
reached with the Count My Vote initiative and Legislature in 2014 to give Utah voters more choices, convenience
and accountability. It is a priority of the Board of Governors to actively participate in this year’s caucuses, signature
gathering processes, primaries and the 2016 general election.
As a matter of policy and principle, the Salt Lake Chamber focuses on discretion, transparency and community
engagement. We encourage members of Utah’s business community to actively participate in the political process.
The Salt Lake Chamber endorses policies that help to fulfill our mission, but our organization does not endorse
political parties or individual political candidates, including financial contributions to political campaigns.
Senate

championing on behalf of the community.
Together we succeed

Policy Stakeholders
As the voice of business, the Salt Lake Chamber develops
principles, policies and positions on major issues affecting
Utah businesses. Key to this effort is the work of policy-
related committees, subcommittees, task forcesand
councils involving more than 850 representatives of member
corporations, organizations and the academic community who
serve voluntarily. In almost every instance, significant public
policy issue positions originate with one of these Chamber
components. Participation on a committee by a member is
not explicit support for any one position.
Policy-related committees, subcommittees, task forces
and councils have three basic policy responsibilities:
n Identify current and emerging problems.
n Advise and counsel on issues to recommend to
the Salt Lake Chamber Executive Board.
n Provide support on policy analysis and
communication efforts.
Stakeholders also help generate membership and
support for specific initiatives such as Prosperity
2020, Utah Transportation Coalition, Clear the Air
Challenge, Utah | Water is Your Business initiative
and the annual legislative reception.
