SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Governor Gary Herbert has called the Utah State Legislature into a fourth special session.

The session will take place on Thursday. The governor said lawmakers will discuss how to use federal funds accepted during the last special session and extending the deadline to pay renewal fees for bar establishment licenses.

The legislature will also look at changing the sales and use tax exemption for fuel sold to rail carriers and create a scholarship program for students with disabilities to cover costs at qualifying private schools, according to a release from the governor’s office.

Senate officials said lawmakers will finish their work from the third special session before this newly-called session begins.
