The Utah Gender-Neutral Constitutional Language Amendment, appearing on the ballot as Utah Constitutional Amendment A,[1] is a constitutional amendment in Utah, which appeared on the ballot on November 3, 2020.[2]
The amendment intended to replace all gendered language in the Constitution of Utah with gender-neutral language.[2] According to Deidre Henderson, the State Senator who proposed the amendment, only 6 of the 237 sections of the constitution would be modified, in order to bring them in line with the other 231 sections, which already use gender-neutral language.[2][3] The amendment was unanimously approved in both the State Senate and the Utah House of Representatives, allowing it to be put on the ballot.[4] If the amendment was passed by voters, it would go into effect on January 1, 2021.[1][2][5]
The amendment passed with 57.69% of the votes.[2]
