State
Bail Reform Debate Continues
After the Utah Legislature largely repealed a bail reform law earlier this year, stakeholders are back at the drawing board. One sticking point is whether the state should keep a bail schedule that assigns certain monetary amounts to different charges. Chad Jensen, president of the Utah Sheriffs Association, said a bail schedule brings consistency to counties across the state. But others argue if a judge assigns bail, it should be based on someone’s ability to pay it to avoid inequities.

From the most visited national parks in the nation to skiing and urban escapes, Utah’s tourism industry was continuing to grow at a record pace pre-pandemic, increasing by 5.1 percent every year since 2015.
In 2019, Utah tourism saw $10 billion in visitor spending approximately eight percent of that from international visitors, according to the Utah Office of Tourism and $1.34 billion in tourism tax revenue, while state and national parks also experienced record visitation.
Now just weeks shy from the close of its fiscal year 2020, after a full pandemic year and in spite of a big hit to tourism, Utah ranks among six states in the nation that reported increased tax revenues, with its gross domestic product projected to grow by 6.2 percent.
