 Utah's state legislature made headlines this week by repealing House Bill 267, a controversial ban on collective bargaining for public employees including teachers, firefighters, and police. According to the Associated Press, Republican Governor Spencer Cox signed the repeal on Thursday after a special session on December 9, where the House voted 60-9 and the Senate 26-1 in favor. The original law, passed in February, drew widespread protests and a planned 2026 referendum, which is now invalidated. Rep. Jordan Teuscher, the bill's sponsor, called it a step back from division to foster constructive talks with unions.

In business news, medical technology giant Stryker announced a major expansion in Salt Lake City, projecting 862 new high-paying jobs and $615 million in investments over 20 years. Utah Business reports the Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity awarded a post-performance tax reduction under its EDTIF program, praising Utah's talent pool for advancing neurovascular innovations and stroke therapies.

Community efforts highlight public safety and infrastructure. Schools are training guardians as first responders in active shooter scenarios, with Emery County Sheriff Scott Huntington emphasizing threat elimination amid rural response delays, per KUTV. Meanwhile, the Utah Department of Environmental Quality prepares 2026 launches of multimillion-dollar grants for clean heavy-duty vehicles, EV incentives, and zero-emission port tech at Salt Lake City Intermodal Terminal.

No significant recent weather events have disrupted the state.

Looking Ahead: Watch for the MyUtah citizen portal launch in early 2026 to streamline services, ongoing AI regulation debates amid federal preemption talks, and 2026 ballot measures on taxes, elections, and redistricting. Industrial projects totaling 3 million square feet near completion will boost jobs.
