Utah lawmakers have banned transgender athletes from girls’ sports. This move overrides Governor Spencer Cox’s recent veto of the legislation. LGBTQ rights organizations are calling the ban ‘cruel and discriminatory’ and are preparing to fight in court. Expecting this legal challenge, state lawmakers set aside $500,000 for the ban’s defense. Plus, the Manti-La Sal National Forest Service is conducting prescribed burns to reduce the risk of wildfire spread.
