The practice of restorative justice is mentioned in multiple places in Utah code, but it lacks a clear definition.  In the 2021 Session, Rep. Andrew Stoddard sponsored H.B.330 to give the concept of restorative justice a uniform definition.  But then, a majority of the House voted it down.  In this episode, Rep. Stoddard talks about why misunderstandings about what restorative justice actually is resulted in the bill failing.  And, Nate Blouin, a renewable energy advocate, shares his family's experience of choosing to apply restorative justice after his father’s tragic death.
