The Legislative Management Committee — consisting of top leaders from both parties and chambers — unanimously approved the move in a special meeting, but only if Reyes chooses in coming days to continue withholding the document.
Senate President Wayne Niederhauser said the offices of Reyes and Herbert contacted legislative leaders on Wednesday — a day after they announced they may pursue a lawsuit — and have “begun communications” that may lead to release of the document.
Also, leaders said they could drop the suit if Reyes turns the opinion over to The Salt Lake Tribune, as ordered last week by the State Records Committee.
