First proposed by Sen. Brian Shiozawa (R-SL), S.C.R. 11 flew through Utah’s Senate Health and Human Services Committee Tuesday morning unopposed, according to KUTV.com. Now headed for the Senate floor for further consideration, the passage of S. C. R. 11 would permit broader research at facilities like the Huntsman Cancer Institute and the University of Utah.
