The Trump administration recently sent a letter to the Utah State Legislature opposing a bill that would regulate AI companies in the name of child safety.

The memo from the White House reads, quote, Republican Representative Doug Fiafia is the bill's sponsor.

The bill has been circled in the House and no clear path forward has been offered.

Utah is undergoing a redistricting process after a judge ruled its maps were unconstitutional.

Map C won in a 56-17 final House vote in a special legislative session.

But Democrat and Senate Minority Leader Luz Escamilla told the state Senate she is unimpressed.
