The Deseret News’ Lisa Riley Roche, Fox 13 News’ Ben Winslow, and ABC4 News’ Glen Mills sum up the 2019 legislative session in this edition of The Hinckley Report.

With one week left in the 2019 session, what will the Utah legislature take on? The budget is still being evaluated, tax reform and many social issue bills are still on the table. Plus, the SB54 lawsuit reaches its end. State Representative Brian King, Former Speaker of the House Greg Hughes, and the Salt Lake Tribune’s Taylor Stevens join host Jason Perry on this week’s Hinckley Report.

Which bills will pass, which will fail?  And Congress challenges President Trump on his National Emergency declaration. The Salt Lake Tribune’s Robert Gehrke, the Bountiful City Council’s Kate Bradshaw, and KUTV’s Heidi Hatch are this week’s guests on the Hinckley Report.

As the 2019 legislative session heats up, new laws are passed and others are debated.  The Medicaid Expansion ballot initiative, is replaced, and  another federal shutdown is avoided at the last minute.   The Associated Press’ Lindsay Whitehurst, Utah GOP member Thomas Wright, and Representative Patrice Arent join Host Jason Perry for this week’s Hinckley Report.

Week 2 of the Utah Legislature had the Medicaid expanding Proposition 3 changed by the Utah Senate, and the bill now moves to the House. What other issues are they working on? Also, Pres. Trump gives his State of the Union speech. How are Utahns reacting?   State Representative Brian King, State Senator Todd Weiler, and KUER’s Nicole Nixon join host Jason Perry this week on the Hinckley Report.

A few days in, the 2019 Legislative session is already busy, with a proposed tax cut and changes to Prop 3.

And members of Utah’s Federal delegation make waves in Washington.   ABC4’s Emily Clark, the Deseret News’ Boyd Matheson, and Univision’s Lester Rojas are on this week’s Hinckley Report.

The Federal Government shutdown is over two weeks old, and Utahns are feeling the pinch. How is Utah’s delegation reacting? The 2019 Legislative session starts soon. What bills and issues will be the most contentious? The Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute’s Natalie Gochnour, Political Strategist Spencer Stokes and former State Senator Scott Howell join host Jason Perry on this week's episode.
