Utah Legislature Begins Annual Session

Utah lawmakers are returning for their 45-day annual session and are expected to take up a proposal for medical marijuana and a measure to toughen the state's hate crimes law.

They'll also try to find more money for public schools.

Other proposals include lowering Utah's blood-alcohol limit for drivers to .05 percent and allowing Utah residents to carry a hidden, unloaded gun without a permit. The governor vetoed a similar gun bill in the past.

Their return to business Monday will be met by an afternoon march by a group of Utah women.

The event is organized by the group Utah Women Unite and is a spinoff of the massive Women's March on Washington over the weekend.

It was organized by women dismayed at President Donald Trump's election.
