Utah legislators dispute state’s 2020 election void of fraud, sink effort praising vote Hannah Petersen © Scott G Winterton, Deseret News The Capitol in Salt Lake City is pictured on Monday, Feb. 8, 2021. SALT LAKE CITY Given the historic hurdle COVID-19 placed in front of 2020 voting officials, some legislators wanted to commemorate the election as a success in Utah, but some conservative lawmakers would only go so far in applying the word “success” to the results. “There’s a significant difference of opinion in my district about whether mail-in balloting is correct. There’s a significant difference of opinion about how fraud was handled across the country. There’s a significant different opinion about a lot of things,” said Rep. Norm Thurston, R-Provo.

Utah lawmakers nix idea requiring ‘consent’ as part of sex education Marjorie Cortez © Scott G Winterton, Deseret News The Capitol in Salt Lake City is pictured on Monday, Feb. 8, 2021. SALT LAKE CITY Legislation that would have required Utah’s sex education curriculum to include instruction about consent including what does not constitute consent was defeated by the House Education Committee Monday by a vote of 4-7. HB177, sponsored by Rep. Carol Spackman Moss, D-Holladay, also would have required instruction on coercion, sexual violence behavior deterrence, and sexual assault mitigation as part of sex education instruction for students in grades 7-12. Parents must opt-in for their child to participate in sex education classes.

Plan to give birth control to more people under Medicaid passes legislative hurdle Ashley Imlay © Kristin Murphy, Deseret News The Capitol in Salt Lake City is pictured on Friday, Feb. 5, 2021. SALT LAKE CITY A Utah lawmaker’s second attempt to expand Medicaid birth control and family planning services to more residents passed its first legislative hurdle on Friday. “Contraceptive care is medical care,” said bill sponsor Sen. Derek Kitchen, D-Salt Lake City. HB128 would require the state’s Medicaid program to apply for waiver or a state plan amendment seeking a 90/10 match of funds from the federal government. If the waiver or amendment gets approved by the federal government, those making up to 250% of the federal poverty level would receive family planning services.
