Governor Spencer Cox and Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson held a bill signing ceremony on Tuesday, calling attention to a series of new laws combating
The bills, passed in the 2023 legislative session, expand victim services across Utah. One requires all police agencies in Utah to conduct what are known as"lethality assessments." It's a series of questions police officers will be required to ask when responding to a domestic violence call. Those questions, victim advocates say, can help determine someone's risk of being murdered.
"This is something that we can do better. We will do better. We will save lives. I know that," Lt. Gov. Henderson said at Tuesday's ceremony held at the YWCA of Utah. Just as important as the new laws are millions in funding the legislature appropriated to expand victim services statewide. "Not just life before birth, but especially life after birth. That includes the health of the mother and the child," he told FOX 13 News."One way to do that is to expand Medicaid coverage postpartum to 12 months. We felt it was very important. It was a little controversial, but I'm grateful we were able to get that over the finish line."
