Summary
Week one jitters have worn off and now it's back to business at the Utah State Capitol. Reforms to the courts and to Utah's election system have taken top billing in both chambers. A proposal to create a new court specialized in constitutional issues turns heads, while plans to expand the judiciary at all levels speed through the legislature. Lawmakers are also refining a plan to bifurcate federal and state elections to allow for additional citizenship checks. Lindsay interviews Senator Mike McKell and Rep. Andrew Stoddard to get perspective on these issues from both sides of the aisle. Plus, actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt comes to town to promote AI regulation.
