Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
20 provisions identified: 12 benefits, 2 costs, 6 mixed.
Central public safety data portal
The commission and the Department of Public Safety run a public safety data portal. It sets shared data formats, provides a reporting gateway, and keeps a master data index. It includes a privacy protocol and real‑time audit tools. The portal is the main place for data required by many public safety laws.
Grants for first responder mental health
The department awards grants to first responder agencies to provide mental health resources. Applications must show a plan, how many responders will be served, how services will be timely and effective, cost, and how the program will last. Grants cannot fund programs already in place unless the proposal clearly expands them. Providers must have training and experience with first responders. The department prioritizes small agencies, tells eligible groups about the program, may help write applications, and may use up to 25% of remaining grant funds to provide these resources itself.
New end dates for health programs
The law updates end dates for many health-related sections. Examples include July 1, 2027 for certain Drug Utilization Review Board sections and July 1, 2034 for the inpatient hospital assessment. Other listed dates include July 1, 2026; January 1, 2030; July 1, 2029; and July 1, 2030. These changes set how long those programs and committees stay in place.
Work can shorten probation or parole
Beginning July 1, 2026, if you are placed on probation or parole on or after that date, you can earn up to 30 days off per month by keeping eligible work. The division keeps credit records and must ask for termination at least 30 days before the computed end date. A court or the Board may deny early end for public‑safety reasons, required treatment, or if guidelines are not met.
Annual offense list and collateral guide
The sentencing commission must publish a yearly list of all criminal offense changes from the last session by June 30. It must also compile and post a yearly guide to collateral consequences of convictions. The guide must include disclaimers, exclude county, city, other‑state, and federal laws, and exclude laws passed after March 31 each year. The commission also recommends related legislation to lawmakers.
Concealed permit fees and fund rules
The law creates a restricted Concealed Weapons Account in the General Fund. Fees under this law and Section 53‑5a‑308 go into the account and can only pay permit‑issuance costs and programs named in 26B‑5‑102(3) and 26B‑5‑611. Within 90 days after each fiscal year ends, 50% of any excess over costs moves to the Suicide Prevention and Education Fund. The bureau can collect outside‑agency prerequisite fees from applicants and must forward them. This changes who collects money and where it goes, not the fee amounts.
More jail data and public access
County jails must send a yearly report to the state by June 15 with data on bookings, populations, in‑custody deaths, and substance use screening and treatment. A jail that keeps these data can sign an agreement so the state pulls the data directly instead of a written report. Before publishing a report from that data, the state must share a draft with the jail and any named arresting agency; it can publish after approval, with the jail’s response, or after four weeks with no response. On request, a jail must give the public only the name, cause of death, and facility for inmate deaths. The state may not use submitted jail policies or procedures for purposes not allowed by law.
More transparency from local prosecutors
Since January 1, 2021, prosecutors must post office policies online, such as charging, pleas, sentencing, discovery, and victim services. If a policy does not exist, the office must say so. Since July 1, 2021, prosecutors must send detailed case data every quarter within 90 days after each quarter and keep the records for 10 years. If a due date lands on a weekend or holiday, it is due the next workday.
New unit to fight retail theft
Effective May 6, 2026, the Attorney General and Public Safety create a joint strike force and a Joint Organized Retail Crime Unit. The unit investigates, catches, and helps prosecute organized retail theft and related property crimes. Federal, state, and local agencies may join if invited.
Police cannot threaten blanket arrests
Beginning May 6, 2026, an officer cannot threaten to arrest everyone at a scene to stop someone from asking for help. This protects people who request law enforcement intervention.
Standard recidivism tracking and reports
The state uses a standard recidivism rule with a default three‑year window. Triggers include an arrest, prison admission, criminal charge, or conviction, and reports must state who is counted. Residential vocational and life‑skills programs must send annual recidivism data by August 31. The commission publishes program‑by‑program results and sends them to key legislative committees each year.
Stronger police response to domestic violence
Effective May 6, 2026, if there is probable cause, officers must arrest or cite for domestic violence, and must arrest if there is risk of continued violence, serious injury, or a weapon was used. Officers must find the main aggressor when both sides complain. If no arrest is made or if both are arrested, the officer must write a detailed report and tell the victim how to start a case and to save evidence. Officers must prepare an incident report with any lethality check, give a free copy to the victim on request, and send a copy to the prosecutor within five days. Agencies must make and keep written, domestic‑violence‑coded records for all incidents.
Telepsychiatry and inmate health pilot
The department must hire a telehealth psychiatry provider to support correctional health staff. A medical‑monitoring pilot runs from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2029, after a 2023–2024 planning year. The department must post indicators and report costs and benefits by October 1 each year and compare results to 2024. Inmates remain in Department of Corrections custody while getting departmental health care. The department may not run non‑health DOC treatment plans without an agreement.
Corrections drops yearly supervision report
The Department of Corrections no longer provides a yearly update to lawmakers on rolling out the direct-supervision model, or any alternative. This removes a recurring transparency report.
Fewer annual reports to lawmakers
The law removes several reporting duties. It ends the emergency alert system report, the yearly Pretrial Release Fund report, and a past CTE pilot report. It ends two CCJJ report subsections on January 1, 2029, a medication‑assisted treatment report on July 1, 2026, a DOC report on July 1, 2028, and an Administrative Office of the Courts report on January 1, 2028.
Concealed carry fees through June 2026
If you apply before July 1, 2026: initial $25; nonresident adds $35; renewal $20; nonresident renewal adds $30; replacement $10; late renewal $7.50 (for renewals expired more than 30 days but less than one year). On or after July 1, 2026, the bureau sets fees by rule. The initial $25 fee is waived for law enforcement officers, active-duty service members, their spouses, and school employees.
Pilot checks on indigent defense
From July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025, four counties ran a pilot to verify indigency in a sample of cases. Systems in Cache, Davis, Duchesne, and San Juan reviewed finances for people the court found indigent and could require documents. The pilot did not apply to minors or their parents or guardians.
New end dates for programs and boards
The law sets repeal dates for many public safety and education sections. Examples: Section 53‑2a‑105 ends July 1, 2029; the Grid Resilience Committee ends July 1, 2027; and the Concealed Firearm Review Board ends July 1, 2029. In Title 64, a DOC report ends January 1, 2028, and the Correctional Postnatal and Early Childhood Advisory Board ends July 1, 2027. In Title 67, Sections 67‑1‑8.1 and 67‑1‑15 and other items end on dates in 2027–2028, and Utah Prosecution Council (Title 67, Chapter 5a) ends July 1, 2027.
Penalties for denying mental health help
The commission can review referrals about an entity denying mental health resources to an eligible person. After review, the commission may block that entity from getting certain state grants for a set time. This is a penalty on entities, not on individuals.
State grants tied to reporting and care
The commission does not award state grants to entities that fail the required justice-data reporting. This rule does not affect separate firearm data reporting by police. Starting July 1, 2025, the commission also withholds grants from entities it has already found ineligible because they denied mental health resources under state rules.
