Republican Rep. Kim Coleman votes on the House floor at the Utah State Capitol on Thursday, March 2, 2017, in Salt Lake City. Utah lawmakers on Thursday were expected to consider a bill requiring college counselors to keep sexual abuse reports confidential, almost one year after Mormon-owned Brigham Young University faced major backlash when it was revealed it shared assault victim information with its honor code office. Earlier this week, lawmakers rejected a bill that would have allowed colleges to send some reports of sex assault to law enforcement without victims' consent. The proposal by Coleman appeared dead after a tight vote in the House of Representatives amid concern that it would take control out of the hands of the victims and result in fewer students coming forward.
