SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A new Utah measure that ramps up punishments for some polygamists is just one of the more than 400 new state laws that take effect Tuesday.
Other laws that are set to take effect include a measure that adds requirements for abortion providers and one that helps people pass down their social media accounts after they die.
The trigger for about three-fourths of the new laws is May 9 because it’s a default date under state law, marking 60 days from the end of the state’s short legislative session.
