Notable legislation

  • In 2014, Weiler also sponsored S.B. 229 Fourth Substitute Adoption Act Amendments, which helps give fathers more rights if a mother is putting the child up for adoption.[16] This bill passed and was signed by the governor.[16] He also ran S.B. 227 Exposure of Children to Pornography, which provides that a district court shall consider, when determining child custody in a separation or divorce, whether the parent has intentionally exposed the child to pornography or material harmful to a child; this bill also passed.[17]
  • During the 2016 legislative session Weiler sponsored and passed a joint resolution calling pornography a public health crisis in the state of Utah.[18] He also sponsored a bill that would allow parents to opt their children into a gun safety education course through school. The course teaches students what to do if they come across a gun while at school.
  • During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic in Utah, Weiler supported legislation to stockpile the experimental medication hydroxychloroquine.[19] On Twitter the Senator stated that "While the funds could be used for drugs like HCQ, they could be used for other potential treatments as well.”[20] Soon it emerged that Utah had already purchased $800,000 worth of the drug, at vastly inflated prices, from a local pharmacy with connections to Senate President Stuart Adams.[21][22][23]
