By constitutional rule the Legislature must end its session Thursday, which often means the stroke of midnight. Lawmakers are wrapping up negotiations on a number of bills, including proposals to change the state's liquor and gun laws, and putting the finishing touches on a roughly $13 billion state budget.

Utah Senate Passes Bill Restricting Transgender Student Housing

(Salt Lake City, UT) — A bill restricting transgender students from university housing that does not align with their biological sex is returning to the Utah House after passing the Senate yesterday.

The bill previously passed the House 59-13 and now awaits final approval before reaching Governor Spencer Cox.
