Utah bill shields private clubs from civil rights rules
Utah lawmakers moved to exempt charitable fraternal women's and religious groups from the Civil Rights Act. The measure would allow private clubs with state liquor licenses to limit membership or access by women and minorities, overturning a 1993 Utah Supreme Court ruling. Gov Leavitt has 20 days to sign or veto.

Safe to end peacetime draft registration
The Pentagon says peacetime registration could be suspended with no irreparable harm to national security while keeping the Selective Service system under study. President Clinton favors continuing registration for now as reviews proceed, and lawmakers push to end it to save about $29 million annually. The Pentagon cites a $6 million annual saving and notes continued registration pending broader review.
