Gov. Mark Gordon signed eight bills into law on Monday and allowed another to become law without his signature.
The signings include the Human Heartbeat Act, which goes into effect immediately. This means abortion is now illegal in the state when there’s a “detectable fetal heartbeat,” which other states have considered as six weeks. It’s likely to be challenged in court.
Another bill Gordon signed requires hospitals to have a searchable public-facing list of standard charges for services. SF 57 also provides fiscal penalties if a hospital disregards the requirement.
The bill echoes the Trump administration’s price transparency policy outlined in an executive order signed last year. A similar bill was introduced during last year's legislative session, but federal rules were changing as the bill was being worked on, so lawmakers decided to wait to see what the feds did first.
Under another new law, anyone can donate a valid hunting license to a person with a life-threatening illness or someone who is vision-impaired.
And if an individual sells a car to an immediate family member, they will be exempt from paying sales or use tax.
Gordon also allowed a major school funding bill to become law without his signature.
The Legislature's session is coming to a close this week. Lawmakers will assemble to override any of the governor’s vetoes on Wednesday.
The full list of bills the governor has signed can be found on the governor’s website.
