Another good piece from Utah and it looks like it successfully made  it through the state senate. A bill that severly restricts the overall operation of federal law enforcement agencies in the state. This is another one with the teeth of enforcement and prosecution contained in it. It deals with wild life agencies initialy but also has written in to it broad scope over all federal agenices and laws with in the state.
