On his #COVID19 vaccine exemptions bill, Sen. Cullimore acknowledges business groups had some concerns which is why it was changed. Utah could also lose litigation against mandates. @fox13 #utpol #Utah
Are the feds bluffing on OSHA? Sen. Cullimore says wait and see.

On redistricting maps, Sen. Sandall says it feels good to be at the end of the process.

Anything to say to protesters? “I think that voice is great… but your voice is embodied in those you elect.” #utpol #Utah
.@KarenMayneUT5 says she obviously disagrees with the map and SL Co. needs representation itself.

She says some counties have as much population as West Valley City has in just a few blocks.

“It was unacceptable,” she says. @fox13 #utpol #Utah
.@DonnieIpson says it’s the #utleg’s responsibility to draw the maps.

How is there sufficient amount of time to digest maps?

@JStuartAdams says @UtahRedistrict maps were not a broader range and it felt like their process became a bit politicized. @fox13 #utpol #Utah
.@JStuartAdams says he’ll let the people decide if there’s a ballot initiative.

What happens with @DixieState? @DonnieIpson says he will NOT support it. Senate unclear on whether it gets through. @fox13 #utpol #Utah

I’m at a Veterans Day ceremony at @UUtah where @GovCox and @SenatorRomney are speaking. @fox13 #utpol #Utah

The crowd is giving a standing ovation to this year's honorees. @fox13 #utpol #Utah

From @fox13 @ 9: Redistricting is done, but prepare for a potential lawsuit AND a ballot initiative: fox13now.com/news/local-new… #utpol #Utah
.@BBforUT is just getting warmed up. They've been fundraising for their new PAC and I'm told it is already doing fine.

They will target lawmakers who opposed independent redistricting AND are planning a ballot initiative: fox13now.com/news/local-new… @fox13 #utpol #Utah
Tonight, @BradWilsonGOP told me he anticipates someone may file a lawsuit over the redistricting process. BUT he is confident that it will withstand any court challenge: fox13now.com/news/local-new… @fox13 #utpol #Utah

OK, the Senate just PASSED bail reform, sending it to @GovCox for his signature.

They also just PASSED the revised state school board map (also going to @GovCox) and are now debating the Senate map. @fox13 #utpol #Utah
The House chimes are going off so they're coming back into session. They've still got some bills to blast through, including #COVID19 vaccine exemptions.

The #utleg is going all night, kids! @fox13 #utpol #Utah
In the Senate, @Mskriebe just tried to substitute a @UtahRedistrict map.

It failed, but @JStuartAdams stumbled and said he ruled it passed.

Sen. Riebe graciously corrected him that her own motion failed. @fox13 #utpol #Utah

HAPPENING NOW: The Utah Senate is now taking up the @DixieState name change bill. @fox13 #utpol #Utah
.@mikemckellutah urges support for the bill.

@DonnieIpson says the name "Dixie was already used to identify the area."

He says locals want to keep it.

"The idea of ripping away the name of their school is indeed heartwrenching."

@fox13 #utpol #Utah
.@DonnieIpson asks Senate to vote no.

Sen. Johnson says he will vote no, says the president of @DixieState has been telling people "we're going to be Utah Tech University."

"Is it really right for us to broadcast to students across the state, this now the tech university?"
