Utah has become the first state to prohibit flying LGBTQ+ pride flags at schools and all government buildings. Republican Gov. Spencer Cox announced late Thursday night he was allowing a ban on unsanctioned flag displays to become law without his signature.

The Sundance Film Festival has always called Utah home, but it could pack up and move out of state after 2027.

The move to enshrine Utahn as the state demonym isn’t so much for residents as it is for national news outlets.

As the new License Plate Design Review Board contemplates design criteria, the Great Salt Lake plate is stalled.

Starting Jan. 1, 2025, the Beehive State says goodbye to front license plates. It’s one of the changes brought by SB45, which the Utah State Tax Commission says will reduce the need for in-person DMV visits.

The fate of Abravanel Hall remains an open question, with the committee only committing to a “recommendation for preservation.”

The 4-1 decision determined Utah's Planned Parenthood had standing in the case and that a lower court did not abuse its discretion when it blocked the state's "trigger law" in 2022.

The Utah State Auditor, charged with investigating enforcement, says the online portal already has received more than 10,000 submissions in its first week — and that none seem legitimate.

Lawmakers like Republican Karriane Lisonbee believe Utah’s “trigger law” will be upheld as constitutional “and we want that decision made.”

Much like they did last year, Utah’s supermajority legislature front-loaded its contentious bills to the opening days of the 45-day work session.

After approval from the Legislature, HB257 now heads to Gov. Spencer Cox’s desk for consideration.

A day after softening the bill, Sen. Dan McCay added another substitution that returned many of the House version’s restrictions.
