SALT LAKE CITY — Governor Spencer Cox signed a big batch of bills into law on Tuesday night, including a series of sweeping police reforms and a bill to change the name of Dixie State University.
The governor signed 172 bills into law. They include:
- The bill that starts a public process to change the name Dixie State University after increasing pressure to change the name of the St. George-based university over its associations with the Civil War Confederacy.
- Bills that require more reporting of police use of force and additional training for officers following last year's Black Lives Matter demonstrations. The governor also signed a bill to increase penalties associated with rioting.
- A bill to expand data privacy following the controversy surrounding the artificial intelligence company Banjo and one that criminalizes "catfishing."
- A bill that bans the release of jailhouse booking mugshots that news media (including FOX 13) opposed.
- A bill that prohibits protests outside people's personal homes following anti-mask demonstrations outside the homes of Utah Department of Health officials and then-Gov. Herbert.
- Legislation that increases Utah's negotiation efforts for Colorado River water.
- A bill to create a process to change the names of landmarks deemed offensive to Native Americans.
- A bill to design a new state flag for Utah.
- The creation of the new Utahraptor State Park outside Moab.
