Engineering, technology and the arts
Paul A. Cutler earned an electrical-engineering degree at the University of Utah and an MBA at Brigham Young University. His House biography describes technology consulting and business experience and work as an engineering director for a global technology company. It also records board service with CenterPoint Legacy Theatre, adding a community arts connection to a professional career rooted in technology and management. [1]
House District 18
Cutler began House service in January 2023 and represents District 18 in Davis County. His current standing assignments include Economic Development and Workforce Services and Government Operations. Those responsibilities combine employment and economic-development policy with the administration of public agencies, creating a legislative portfolio that connects his technical and business experience with questions about how government programs are organized.

Electric bicycles and road safety
Cutler sponsored 2026 HB381. The introduced Electric Bike Amendments proposed changes involving electric-assisted bicycles and other devices, including equipment modifications, helmets for younger riders, safety instruction and enforcement. The later sponsor record uses the title Electric Mobility Device Amendments. This specific introduced proposal documents his work at the intersection of technology and transportation, including provisions addressing device modifications and the impoundment of electric bicycles. This account describes the introduced version. [2]
In the 2026 General Session, Paul A. Cutler was chief sponsor of H.B. 13, Municipal Services Fees and Political Subdivision Lien Amendments. It would have allowed a city to place a lien on property for unpaid water, sewer or utility fees after notice, and to charge interest and a one-time penalty on late fees. It failed on third reading in the House and it was filed on March 6, 2026. [3]
In the 2026 General Session, Paul A. Cutler was chief sponsor of H.B. 26, Voting Equipment Amendments. It requires that voting equipment, apart from electronic pollbooks, be incapable of wireless communication, repeals a certification provision for ranked-choice voting equipment and limits purchases to the newly selected voting system. The governor signed it on March 7, 2026. [4]
Public administration and agency spending
His current record lists General Government Appropriations and interim assignments in Economic Development and Workforce Services and Government Operations. Those roles bring program funding and agency review into his work alongside substantive policy hearings. They give residents concrete places to follow his economic and administrative responsibilities beyond the individual mobility-device proposal, while his theatre board work remains a separate community activity.
