Utah bill easing school vaccine exemptions stalls on tie vote
Three Republicans vote with Democrats to halt Rep. Trevor Lee's proposal.
HB152, Rep. Trevor Lee’s (R) push to loosen Utah public-school vaccine requirements, hit a wall Friday: a 6–6 tie in the House Health and Human Services Committee. A tie means the bill fails for now, though it can be reconsidered during the remaining 32 days of the 2026 session—all while Utah is battling a significant measles outbreak.
