"Two’s Company: How About Three or More?"

Here are the guidelines for the curfew, which various people (including my state senator) think is a bad idea/counterproductive. It is unclear how much the city-wide curfew is enforced and it seems particularly silly outside of business areas and perhaps certain other places where large crowds would likely congregate. But, there has been various instances of vandalism, including in at least one store down the square (a nearby shopping area).

I also wrote about polygamy and "purporting" laws (a special subject in an area with a special historical reason to be concerned). So, the state weakening the restrictions was interesting to me. Taking out the cohabitation provision particularly seems to be that the concern is "promoting" your status, which is what "purporting" basically is. I'm troubled by the breadth there beyond fraudulently sending the message to let's say a business where it is how to get benefits that you are legally married.

But, it's Utah, I don't expect total libertarian. And, even the Sister Wives bunch, who went out of their way to promote, apparently never really was subject to legal sanction whatever the technical rules. So, it's probably a good step overall.
