(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Rep. Candice Pierucci announced on Friday, Feb. 19, 2021, that she is dropping her bill, HB21, that would have amended the state statute on stalking.
Rep. Candice Pierucci, R-Herriman, announced her decision Friday to continue working to refine HB21. The measure has now been formally taken off the voting calendar, and Pierucci said she intends to bring it back next year with revisions.
It’s a rare move from a representative after the bill had already passed out of a House committee early in the session with unanimous support. It was next awaiting a vote on the floor. But it faced significant pushback from the public, including pleas from victims, victim advocates and attorneys.
