All votes by Katy Hall

Career and education

Katy Hall is a registered nurse whose House biography identifies nursing study at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. Her official education record lists an associate degree and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. The biography also describes hiking, camping, running, cycling and participation in Ironman races. Her healthcare profession provides career context for later legislative work involving hospitals, pharmacy pricing and health-system transparency. [1]

Public service and district

Hall began House service in January 2023 and represents District 11, spanning parts of Davis and Weber counties. Her professional nursing experience gives her firsthand healthcare background alongside her service representing communities across the county line. The current member roster identifies both her profession and the assignments used to describe her present portfolio, while her personal biography supplies background on the outdoor and endurance-sport interests she pursues outside government. [1]

Documented legislative work

Hall's 2026 sponsor table records HB380, Hospital Workplace Violence Reporting Requirements, and HB527, Pharmacy Pricing Amendments, as signed by the governor. It also lists signed measures concerning healthcare transparency and healthcare-worker employment, alongside other school and vehicle proposals. These are documented areas of sponsorship and recorded actions; the table does not establish how individual hospitals, pharmacies or employers implemented the resulting measures or whether they achieved a particular outcome. [2]

In the 2026 General Session, Katy Hall was chief sponsor of H.B. 36, Gold Medal Schools Pilot Program. It creates a five-year pilot, run by the State Board of Education, that funds eligible schools to promote physical activity and healthy eating, with reporting requirements, a cap on administrative costs and a sunset date. The governor signed it on March 19, 2026. [3]

In the 2026 General Session, Katy Hall was chief sponsor of H.B. 51, Adoption Amendments. It overhauls parts of adoption law, including child-placing agency licensing, advertising and reporting, what must be disclosed to birth and adoptive parents, which payments are allowed, and bringing birth mothers to Utah from other states. The governor signed it on March 25, 2026. [4]

Committee and budget responsibilities

Her current assignments include House Health and Human Services and House Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice, with matching interim responsibilities. Hall also serves on Higher Education Appropriations and the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Coordination Committee. The portfolio combines healthcare and public-safety policy with college funding and Games-related planning, extending beyond the clinical experience and endurance-sport interests described in her professional and personal biography.
