Utah is one step closer to flying a new state flag — one that would better represent the state’s historic tribal nations, a Utah state senator says.
A substitute for Senate Bill 31 passed the Utah Senate with a 17-10 vote on Monday. The new design would replace an 8-point star with a 5-point star.
Sen. Dan McCay, R-Riverton, introduced a substitute to his Senate Bill 31 to remove the 8-point star from a new flag design, replacing it with a 5-point star. The senator said he made the change after an American Indian constituent expressed concern about the 8-point star looking like an asterisk from a distance.
