A fire forced the closure of American Fork Canyon at the Alpine Loop and blocked access to Tibble Fork Reservoir—authorities evacuated the canyon and officials estimated that the road reopened around noon on Monday.
State officials have created a new task force to fight construction fraud after Utahns lost $32 million in three years with new home buyers losing an average of $302,000.
The group—led by a full-time prosecutor and local lawmakers—will enforce rules, educate consumers and update regulations to protect home ownership.
Utah lawmakers recently revised sexual activity laws for minors to lessen penalties for consensual encounters when no force is used—allowing prosecutors to apply lesser charges for older teens while keeping strict rules for children under 14.
