SALT LAKE CITY Gov. Spencer Cox this week unveiled a road map for his administration’s first 500 days, outlining six priorities drawn from promises made during his campaign and other priorities gleaned from his transition team.
More than 100 community leaders from across the state contributed to developing the 12-page document, which was drafted by Cox and Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson’s transition team.

Those are some of the priorities Utah s legislative leaders have in their crosshairs for the 2021 general session set to begin Tuesday. Other hot-button issues that will be keeping lawmakers busy include dozens of police reform bills and some gun bills that are sure to draw heat.
Also add to the list: mental health initiatives; affordable housing and homelessness legislation, including a bill to change the makeup of the state s governing homeless body and create the position of a chief homeless officer; and a new approach to incentives for luring companies to Utah rather than just tax breaks.
