> The bill, H.B. 161, directs municipalities like Bluffdale to “refuse support to any federal agency which collects electronic data within this state.”

What about the IRS? Doesn't actually every government agency collect data?

NOAA and the National Weather Service, within Commerce, came to mind for me. No more weather forecasts for Utah, since municipalities would be prevented from providing utilities to federal agencies that collect data. Like the temperature.

Thankfully, reading the bill paints a little more optimistic of a picture, but I can still see several interpretations of the wording that could have unintended consequences.
