C M Y CM Governor ties knot on bill Law will increase fmarriage license e tfees for some , n Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY – Some couples tying the knot in Utah will have to pay more for their marriage license later this year unless they undergo counseling, thanks to a new law signed by Gov. Gary Herbert. Herbert announced Wednesday he’d signed a bill raising the cost of marriage licenses by $20. A couple can get that fee waived if they undergo premarital counseling or education. The fee only applies to counties with an online marriage license system, which so far is just Utah County. It takes effect Sept. 30. MY CY CMY K Republican Sen. Allen Christensen, whose district covers parts of Summit County, sponsored the bill and says it could help lower Utah’s divorce rate. National Center for Health Statistics data shows Utah’s divorce rate has declined since 1990, when there were 5.1 divorces per 1,000 people. The data shows that in 2016 there were 3.6 divorces per 1,000 people. r End near for restaurant signs l e eAssociated Press e SALT LAKE CITY – Utah’s governor has signed a bill alhlowing restaurants to take down state-mandated signs near their doors stating that they’re a restaurant, “not a bar.’’ Gov. Gary Herbert announced Tuesday that he signed the mea- sure, a change that restaurants have cheered. Lawmakers required restaurants and bars to put up signs last year as part of a liquor-reform bill. Restaurants were required to hang signs declaring they’re not bars. Bars were required to declare they’re not restaurants. Rep. Brad Wilson says the signs didn’t seem to make a difference in helping people distinguish between bars and restaurants. His law, which takes effect in May, allows restaurants to take down their signs. Bars will no longer have to declare they’re not restaurants but they’ll still have to post a sign making it clear those under 21 are not allowed in. l IT’S YARD SALE SEASON MAKE SURE YOUR NEXT YARD SALE IS A SUCCESS! eContinued from A-1 “It’s mainly our infrastruc- Council in Salt Lake City on ture is probably the biggest Tuesday provided its consent thing,” he said about his ac- to the hiring.
