Representative Kay Christofferson, state representative for District 53 (Lehi and American Fork), gave a brief end-of-week update at the Utah State Capitol, saying a bill she ran to end certain tax incentives "put back about $12,000,000 back into the general fund" and that state revenue this week was "about $112,000,000 less than projected."

Christofferson, speaking at the close of the legislature's fifth week, said she has also been working on a bill intended to make it easier for workers to collect unpaid wages after being let go, while still protecting employers. "They're they'll sometimes when people are let go, they have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get their wages. I'm just making that easier and still protect employers," she said.

She said she co-sponsored an "advanced air mobility" bill to address new rules for drones that carry cargo. "With the technology that's coming our way, we're trying to make it so that people understand the new rules and regulations," Christofferson said, adding lawmakers are attempting to "cut the rules and regulations as much as possible, but still protect people's rights and make it so that people understand, what they can do to operate these advanced air mobility systems."

Christofferson described the revenue shortfall as a weekly figure and said lawmakers attempt to maintain reserves to cover shortfalls: "It was about $112,000,000 less than projected, but I think we were projecting pretty good numbers. So it's a little bit less, but I think we have, we we try to make some reserves to have enough to cover any shortfalls."

She also noted the legislature had a short week because of Presidents Day and that Renaissance Academy was visiting the Capitol that day. She closed by saying Utah's economy is "doing good" compared with the rest of the nation and that the remaining two weeks of the session will be "fast and furious."
