"Controversy Surrounding Utah Official's Actions Sparks Debate and Calls for Resignation"

The Utah House has taken the first step toward a possible official condemnation of Natalie Cline, a member of the Utah State Board of Education, following her controversial remarks about a female high school athlete. The House is considering drafting a resolution, which could include impeachment proceedings, but no action has been taken yet. Lawmakers are consulting legal staff and considering all options within their constitutional authority, with Senate coordination on any response. The process comes with just 14 working days remaining in the 2024 session, and Utah law specifies that impeachment proceedings must start with a resolution in the House.
