HIVE ALERT: H.B. 233 -- School Curriculum Amendments has been scheduled for a hearing in the House Education Committee on Thursday, February 13, at 2:00 p.m. Shireen Ghorbani of Planned Parenthood Association of Utah explains the bill as written "prohibits a local education agency from allowing entities that perform elective abortions to provide health-related instruction or materials in public schools." She says this means it would prohibit PPAU from teaching or distributing health-related materials in Utah public schools.

Lawmakers seem to be big on small nuclear reactors this session. Unusual for a state with a significant Downwinder population? RadioACTive talks it over with HEAL Utah's Lexi Tuddenham and Eagle Mountain precinct chair and delegate Megan Strader. Check out the following resources:
