The Utah House Democratic Caucus issued the following statement following H.B. 141 International Money Transmission Amendments passage out of the House:
“Today, the House passed another bill that would unduly harm immigrant families in Utah. H.B. 141 directly targets undocumented immigrants by imposing a tax on financial support sent to family members abroad – even modest amounts.
Taken together with other recent legislation, this bill signals a deeply concerning trend of policies that disproportionately target immigrant communities in Utah.”
