SALT LAKE CITY — "Balancing" the executive branch's and health departments' emergency powers amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Another attempt at a tax cut. Some stabs at equalizing school funding. Those are some of the priorities Utah's legislative leaders have in their crosshairs for the 2021 general session set to begin Tuesday.
