SALT LAKE CITY — The 2020 Utah legislative general session wrapped up Thursday at midnight. As the clock ran out on hundreds of bills, many others were passed in the session’s final days and hours.

KSL.com has been tracking bills that could affect Utahns’ money and health throughout the session. But which ones passed the Legislature and — barring a governor’s veto — will now become law?

Here’s a list of every bill we wrote about, and what became of it during the session.

The ones that passed

HB23 creates stricter penalties for selling tobacco products and e-cigarettes to people under 21 years old.

HB32 implements new mental health resources, including a statewide "warm line" for mental health support and information.

HB35 creates an "assertive community treatment" team to test new mental health response methods.

HB49 clarifies that an online transaction involving a boat, automobile, aircraft, or mobile home takes place, for tax purposes, wherever the buyer takes possession of the vehicle.

HB51 repeals some authority of the State Tax Commission to adjust and equalize the valuation of taxable property.

HB59 extends a tax credit for the purchase of certain fuel-efficient, heavy-duty trucks.

HB165 enhances penalties for violations of Telephone and Facsimile Solicitation Act, including violations of the no-call database.

HB220 is designed to combat the spread of hepatitis C.

HB244 aims to reduce alcohol and substance abuse during pregnancy.

HB313 will expand doctors' ability to use telehealth services in Utah — and not a moment too soon.

SB16 is a five-year reauthorization of the Rural Residency Training Program for aspiring doctors, and now for dentists as well.

SB39 appropriates money and makes new resources available for affordable housing initiatives in Utah.

SB117 will allow Regents' Scholarships to be used at private Utah schools like BYU, Ensign College and Western Governors University.

SB121 tweaked several aspects of Utah's medical cannabis program right before it became operational. The governor signed the law quickly to put the new rules into effect.

SB162 will allow students with criminal records to apply for the Regents' Scholarship and the New Century Scholarship.

The ones that got away

HB65 would have removed statutory language that requires physicians to check with law enforcement for a police report before performing an abortion in the case of rape or incest. Such language is probably unenforceable, anyway, unless and until Roe v. Wade is overturned.

HB69 would have allowed some Utah employees to use sick time to care for immediate relatives, and not only themselves.

HB131 would have loosened the restrictions against rent control policies, though its sponsor said she would support rent controls only in very narrow and targeted instances.

HB160 would have helped refugees obtain a high school diploma or GED diploma, if they haven't already.

HB352 would have prohibited certain businesses, like internet service providers and insurers, from using credit scores to determine monthly rates. The sponsor said she experienced "pushback" from those industries after introducing the bill.

HB375 would have meant a total prohibition on the use or sale of e-cigarettes in Utah — but its sponsor said it was mostly a way to get more incremental e-cigarette legislation passed.

SB46 would have increased the penalty for acts of domestic violence committed in the presence of a child.

SB116 would have established a tax credit for certain Social Security benefits, a provision that originally was part of the Legislature's now-repealed tax reform plan.

SB190 would have created a low-scale prescription drug importation program in Utah, but even its sponsor acknowledged the logistics would have been challenging.
