GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Today, a new Utah law makes it a felony for adults to engage in sexual acts with minors in virtual reality spaces, closing a legal gap that made such prosecutions difficult.

- ➤ On Friday, the Protect Utah Workers coalition of 14 labor unions announced it had collected about 130,000 signatures for a petition to overturn a law that ended collective bargaining for public employees, and the group must gather nearly double that number before the April 15 deadline—officials said errors in submitted forms could reduce the final count. The referendum is planned for the November ballot, where voters will decide on the law. Daily Herald
- ➤ Utah lawmakers signed Ashley’s Law—House Bill 127—last week, which sets a minimum sentence of 10 years to life for anyone convicted of raping someone who cannot protect themselves after Ashley was raped by her stepfather. Paula Vigil said the law is a long-fought step that she hopes will protect others from similar harm. FOX 13
