The Utah House passed a bill allowing public employees with mental disabilities to receive the same disability benefits as those with physical impairments.
The Utah House first killed HB105, which gives full benefits to public employees with mental disabilities, but revived and passed the bill on Wednesday.
Objections to the legislation mostly revolved around the added cost of extending those benefits. The bill carries an estimated price tag of just over $2.7 million annually. Rep. Brady Brammer, R-Highland, urged another no vote from his colleagues, warning pilot programs have a habit of becoming permanent.
