[edit] Biography
Madsen received his bachelors from George Mason University and his J.D. from the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University.
He was first elected in 2004. In the 2008 session of the state legislature, Senator Madsen was chief sponsor of SB 210,[2] a bill that required proof of citizenship to be presented in order for Utahns to register to vote.
Local Salt Lake City media erroneously reported that S.B. 247,[3] which Madsen sponsored, would honor Utah native gun creator John M. Browning on the current Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Madsen's bill, S.B. 247S03[4] which passed both houses of the Utah legislature and was signed into law, will recognize John M. Browning on January 24, 2011.
