Plexiglass barriers being removed from Utah House chamber

Many members complained the barriers did nothing to protect against spreading the coronavirus, calling them “hygiene theater.”

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Members of the House of Representatives are partitioned by plexiglass as the Utah State Legislature opens the 2021 legislative session at the Capitol in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2021. The plexiglass partitions on the House floor to prevent the spread of COVID-19 can be removed if legislators request it.
