SALT LAKE CITY A Utah Senate leader has unveiled a bill with major implications for Gov. Spencer Cox s emergency powers, as well as politicians ability to override state and local public health orders.

It would require a public legislative meeting to evaluate whether to extend the health order at the request of the health department. ....
