Utah’s 1st congressional district Representative Rob Bishop is at work in Washington, D.C. His bipartisan bill, HR 1800, was passed by the US House of Representatives, authorizing the transfer of an 80-acre parcel of land to the Utah State University Research Foundation. The transfer will facilitate the continued use of the property for scientific research in direct support of ongoing U.S. military research. “This bill is the cleanest and simplest way of transferring control of this land back to the entity which is using it now so that they can continue their research,” shares Bishop, “much of which is done in support of our military.” Rep. Bishop also reports that he voted for HR 4909, the STOP School Violence Act of 2018. The bill is designed to curb violence in schools throughout the nation by providing resources for teachers, students, and law enforcement officers. The bill also provides funding that can be used for metal detectors, locks, lighting, and other technology.
