SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah lawmakers unanimously approved a budget proposal that would plug an estimated $850 million state revenue shortfall following the COVID-19 pandemic. The House and Senate passed two bills during a special session Thursday that would impose less than 2% cuts across state government agencies while increasing spending for education and social services. Lawmakers used more than $680 million from their reserves, as well as federal dollars from the CARES Act to balance the budget. The Salt Lake Tribune reports the measure will drain nearly a third of the state’s rainy day funds.
