State GOP leaders, UtahPolicy is told, are considering some kind of “scrutiny” of Republican Party candidates in light of SB54, which could include (1) an interview by a party committee and (2) payment of a candidate fee -- and banning any candidate who takes the petition signature route from being able to use the Republican Party banner and name if they don’t do – and pass -- the first two requirements.
