SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A proposal allowing people from polygamous communities to receive money from a crime-victims fund is passing another key step at the Legislature.

According to preliminary results, the city of Hildale, Utah – long one of the homes to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints polygamous sect – will have its first female mayor and its first-ever mayor who isn't a member of the church.

Gov. Gary Herbert has signed into law a measure that hardens Utah's polygamy law by adding harsher penalties for polygamists convicted of other crimes such as domestic abuse.

A polygamous family from TV's "Sister Wives" has filed a request for the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their case for legalizing polygamy.

Kody Brown and his four wives submitted their petition Monday.

The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information on Lyle Steed Jeffs, the leader of a polygamous church on the Utah-Arizona border. 

The polygamous family from the TV show "Sister Wives" is asking an appeals court to reconsider a decision that upheld Utah's law banning polygamy.

Kody Brown and his four wives are suing over the law, which they say violates their constitutional rights.
