Utah governor calls lawmakers into special session
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert issued a proclamation Tuesday calling Utah lawmakers into special session later this week to address impacts related to the coronavirus — and to deal with two bills from the general session he’d vetoed.
Lawmakers are being asked to consider how to spend the federal funds they accepted last week and whether to extend the deadline for payment of the renewal fee for a bar establishment license, the governor said Tuesday.
They will also look at making some changes to a bill that would’ve rolled back a sales tax exemption for purchases of locomotive fuel and created a fund for constructing or renovating railroad crossings and another that would have expanded special-needs scholarships in Utah.
Herbert vetoed both of those earlier this year, and lawmakers were rumored to be considering a veto override session.
