The 2021 legislative session ends Friday, and lawmakers are rushing to get their work done.
House and Senate leaders announced a $50 million investment to support affordable housing and homeless services. Lawmakers also repealed last year’s reform that overhauled the cash bail system in Utah. And, in the session’s waning days, the COVID-19 “endgame” bill aims to bring a halt to the pandemic — through legislation.
