After a failed attempt by a Republican lawmaker to immediately terminate the state’s mask mandate and despite protests from Democrats, the Utah House of Representatives voted along a 51-20, party line to approve Rep. Paul Ray’s HB294, a bill that’s been under heavy negotiations with Gov. Spencer Cox and the Utah Department of Health. It now goes to the Senate for consideration, but there’s a chance it could run into trouble — if not in the Senate, perhaps on Cox’s desk. Neither Senate leaders nor Cox were enthusiastic about the bill when asked about it Wednesday.
