Utah Senate Republicans gave final approval to a rule change blocking news media from the Senate chamber without permission.
There was no debate offered before the rule won final passage on Tuesday morning.
Sen. Mike McKell, R-Spanish Fork, the sponsor of the measure pointed to the Senate’s daily media availability. There have been 20 such media availabilities during the 2022 session prior to Tuesday. The average time senators spent taking questions from the media during those events was just over 13 minutes.
During floor debate on Monday, Sen. Jake Anderegg, R-Lehi, justified his vote in favor of the change alleging unethical acts by members of the press.
