From Deseret News archives:
Who did lawmakers help or hurt?
Helped: Farmers selling produce at farmer's markets will no longer be required to have a food handler's permit.
Hurt: One note critics of the Republican-dominated Legislature who will, at least temporarily, find something besides education funding to denigrate them.
Helped: Police better track sex offenders, who will now be required to renew either a drivers license or a state identification card annually.
Hurt: St. Louis soccer fans, who will not be watching Real Salt Lake after state officials worked out a deal to keep Real Salt Lake in Sandy.
Helped: Water conservationists, who will now have a whole week to celebrate their water wise ways.
Hurt: Celebrants of Juneteenth Independence Day by not giving state recognition to the holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the South.
Hurt: Deadbeat dads dreaming of road trips who can now lose their drivers licenses if they fail to pay child support.
Helped: Rural counties struggling to maintain their infrastructure under the weight of oil and gas explorations with a dedicated fund.
Hurt: Prisoners who have perfected the license making process by making them master a new "Life Elevated" license plate.
Helped: Identity theft victims, who will now have an easier time accessing information and reporting the crime via the Internet.
Hurt: Unmarried domestic abuse victims, especially teenagers, who still cannot seek a restraining order against their abusers. (This changes if the bill passes.)
Hurt: Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon, insulted after he denied a funding plan for the Real soccer stadium site and the state instead decided to pass a bill that forces the county's to pay for it using hotel-tax dollars.
