On the second page of a housing covenant, he found a different sort of requirement, barring anyone other than the caucasian race from owning a home on the property.

Utah Senate kills then resurrects bill to eliminate signature-gathering path for candidates
Some worry the bill would lead to a referendum effort to do away with Utah’s convention system.
(Rick Bowmer | AP file photo) Republican Sen. Dan McCay s bill giving political parties the ability to prevent candidates from gathering signatures to get on the ballot was killed then resurrected in the Utah Senate on Feb. 25, 2021 | Updated: 3:50 a.m.
The Utah Senate on Thursday evening killed a proposal to give political parties the option of doing away with the alternative path to the ballot for candidates who gather signatures. But, less than an hour later, they revived the bill and advanced it.

SALT LAKE CITY The Utah Senate is poised to pass a bill that would step back from a controversial law passed several years ago that allows candidates for political office to gather voter signatures to get on a primary ballot.
Senators originally voted to reject the bill 12-15 on Thursday evening. But they later decided to reconsider it as bill sponsor Sen. Dan McCay, R-Riverton, said there were misunderstandings as some thought the bill would take away the option for signature-gathering completely. It then passed 18-11 on the second reading.
McCay said the signature path to the ballot has created unintended consequences.
