Libertas is set to release our first Libertas Insights/Overton Insights poll, gauging how Utahns feel about their state and various policy issues. You can explore the full results tomorrow.
In the first Libertas Institute/Overton Insights poll, we found that Utahns overwhelmingly support allowing military service members and veterans to count their training toward professional licensing, with 79% in favor of it and strong support across every political group. This legislative session, Senate Bill 90, supported by Libertas Institute, would make Utah the first state to pass such a law.
Republicans (+80%), Democrats (+36%), and Independents (+62%) all back the idea by wide margins, making this one of the most broadly popular workforce reforms we will run this year. The message is simple: if you were qualified to do the job in uniform, you should not have to start over when you come home. This strong consensus gives lawmakers clear confidence to pass SB 90 and help veterans get to work faster.
