Estimated read time: 2-3 minutesSALT LAKE CITY — Utah is one step closer to having a new state flag — but it's not exactly the design unveiled late last year.The Utah Senate voted 17-10 in favor of SB31 Monday, a bill that would designate a new state flag — one selected by the Utah State Flag Task Force on Nov. 10 — while classifying the current flag as the state's ceremonial flag.Prior to the vote, Sen. Dan McCay, R-Riverton, unveiled a new design for the flag, which replaces the original eight-sided star with a five-sided star.
