Utah Leg. Goes Home: Gay Club Bill In Limbo
http://www.365gay.com/Newscon06/03/030206utah.htm

The Utah legislature has ended its session leaving unsettled a bill that could be used to ban gay-straight alliances in schools.

The measure passed the Senate last week and had been sent to the House.

The clubs bill would allow school boards to approve or deny clubs without fear of lawsuits. Although it does not specifically mention Gay-Straight clubs LGBT activists say it could be used to prevent the the groups from organizing on school campuses.

The legislature adjourned without passing a bill to drop in the state income tax rate and ensuring Gov. Jon Huntsman will recall lawmakers for a special session.

Supporters of the cubs bill say they will use that session to try to pass the measure.
