犹他州立法者出于对司法独立的担忧,决定暂停努力,让公众在留住法官方面有更大的发言权。 Utah lawmakers have decided to pause efforts to give the public more say in retaining judges, following concerns about judicial independence. 提议设立一个立法委员会审查法官和改变留用标准的法案已被搁置。 Bills proposing a legislative committee to review judges and changing retention standards have been put on hold. 相反,立法机构将与司法部门合作改善司法系统。 Instead, the legislature will work with the judiciary to improve the system. 不过,参议院的一项法案已取得进展,使总督能够任命犹他州最高法院首席法官,参议院予以认可。 A Senate bill, however, has advanced, which would allow the governor to appoint the Utah Supreme Court Chief Justice, with Senate confirmation.
