The Utah Mining Association is recognized by legislators from both sides of the aisle as one of the state’s most influential business organizations. During Utah’s 45-day legislative session, UMA representatives review and track scores of bills on topics ranging from taxes and fees to environmental and health regulations to access on public lands. UMA offers expert testimony before legislative committees and commissions and provides credible, factual data on the industry.

Outside of the legislative session, UMA hosts local, state, and federal elected officials on mine tours throughout the state. These tours give decision-makers an accurate view of the industry and serve as a reminder of the essential minerals and the family-sustaining jobs Utah’s mining industry provides.
