Utah State Representative Tyler Clancy has used his social media platform to highlight recent legislative developments, including the advancement of a bill targeting so-called “junk fees” and ongoing efforts toward non-compete reform.
On January 21, 2026, Clancy announced progress on House Bill 29 (HB 29), writing, “Huge win for Utah families! HB 29 makes sure that the price you see is the price you pay. @econliberties estimates junk fees cost the average family of 4 over $3,000 a year! Now onto the Senate.”
Three days later, on January 24, Clancy reflected on his initial week at the Capitol. He posted, “Great 1st week on Capitol Hill: Hosted our friends & family night Passed our junk fees legislation out of the House (HB 29) Hosted the one & only @ThomasHochman to talk permitting reform Listened to great speeches from Speaker Mike Schultz & @SpencerJCox”.
In a subsequent post later that day, Clancy discussed forthcoming legislative action regarding employment agreements. He stated, “There’s a good chance our non-compete reform legislation will go to committee next week. Email me at tclancy@le.utah.gov if you have insight or would like to sign on to a coalition letter in support. @SpeakSamuel”.
The push against “junk fees,” which are additional charges often added late in transactions for goods and services such as event tickets or hotel bookings, has become an issue in various U.S. states and at the federal level in recent years. Proponents argue these fees lack transparency and inflate costs for consumers.
Non-compete agreements—contracts that restrict employees from working with competitors after leaving a job—have also been under scrutiny nationwide due to concerns about their impact on worker mobility and wage growth.
Tyler Clancy serves as a member of Utah’s House of Representatives and regularly uses his public accounts to update constituents about legislative priorities and policy initiatives.
