Utah Initiative A, also known as the "English is the Official Language Initiative", appeared on the November 7, 2000 statewide ballot in Utah, where it passed, with 67.2% in favor. It was one of four statewide ballot measure that year in Utah. The measure was citizen-initiated.
The language on the ballot said in part:
Initiative A declares English to be the official language of Utah. With certain exceptions, it makes English the sole language of government and requires all documents and actions of the state and its political subdivisions to be in English. Initiative A requires the adoption of rules for the public and higher education systems to assist non-English speaking persons to learn English and to encourage foreign language instruction. Initiative A requires any state funds affected by its implementation to remain in the state's General Fund, requires an accounting of those funds, and authorizes the Legislature to appropriate those funds for programs for English as a second language.
