The Taylorsville Youth Council spent the day at the Legislature this past month. They joined Mayor Kristie Overson and City Council Member Bob Knudsen as they met with legislators and listened to a floor debate. 

The Youth Council also toured the Capitol building and stayed for lunch. “All in all, we had a wonderful time, and it was a great opportunity for our youth to learn more about government and how they can participate in the process,” said Mayor Overson. 

The 2025 General Session of the 66th Utah Legislature began Jan. 21, and the 45-day session concluded March 7. The Youth Council also attended the Youth Council Leadership Conference at Utah State University this month. 

The conference is an annual tradition for the Youth Council where they gather for training, collaboration, service and fun. It is a multi-day event that hosts Youth Councils from across the state. 

Taylorsville’s Youth Council numbers 21 members this year, which is tied as the largest group ever. The group includes one freshman, seven sophomores, 12 juniors and one senior.
