This resolution highlights Utah's high upward mobility and urges Congress to pass the Upward Mobility Act. The Act aims to reform federal anti-poverty programs, eliminating benefits cliffs that harm recipients. It proposes a five-year pilot program for up to five states, including Utah, to administer combined funding from anti-poverty programs as an "Upward Mobility Grant."
