BREAKING NEWS: Sen. Jake Anderegg, R-Lehi, is resigning from the #utleg. Here's his letter to the Senate President... #utpol #Utah

#Abortion legislation trending. Failed #UTLeg would have removed the requirement to report rape or incest to law enforcement before seeking an abortion, and would instead require physicians to follow existing laws for reporting child abuse or neglect.

Honestly saw a lot of Becky Edwards signs down in south-central Utah. Not just the random no-mans-land signs along the highway either, but placed in people's yards. #utpol #utleg

#ConversionTherapy legislation trending. Signed #UTLeg codifying Utah’s administrative ban on conversion therapy, including the highly debated practice of "talk therapy".

No one should be surprised by this given the hateful rhetoric espoused by the Utah GOP, especially churchislators like Trevor Lee. This is exactly what they want to have happen. #utpol #utleg

It sounds like a war zone here in Utah, where the lack of regulations on fireworks & excessive number of days they are permitted makes life a living hell for 95% of the people & animals here. #utleg #utpol

I truly hate the Utah GOP #utleg and their love for fireworks. It is JUNE 29TH and it has been nonstop noisy blasts since 10:15pm from assholes who don't care that people need to sleep, that people have PTSD, that pets freak out, that their illegal fireworks are setting yards & houses on fire. It's only going to get worse too. Hopefully I can leave before the religious holiday on July 24th that also inexplicably requires fireworks for days before & after.

Not "unaware". More like not hateful racist bigots, unlike this Utah GOP book nazi.

Hailey Foster said she’s surprised she is the only parent in Granite who had been active in filing complaints about books.
“You know, it has been shocking, and I think that has been surprising to me. All I can say is that parents are just unaware,” Foster said.

Only small group of parents utilizing new law to help ban books in Utah school libraries.
In one school district, Granite, a West Valley City couple was behind nearly every complaint filed with the district. Of the 205 filings, Nick and Hailey Foster were behind 199 of them. #utleg #utpol #BookBans

#BirthCertificate Modifications trending. Passed #UTLeg denies minors the ability to change their birth certificate. It does allow the department to correct an error or omission if the correction is made no later than one year from the day it is created.

Not the first time Pornhub has had to have special rules just for Utah.
A few years ago, they were providing Utah with sex ed videos after the GOP #utleg voted down sex ed in schools.
