More debt relief for criminal defendants
Beginning May 6, 2026, Utah defendants can ask the sentencing court to correct criminal debt errors or change payment schedules. Before their sentence ends, they can also ask to cancel some or all unpaid debt, except restitution principal and interest. If payment causes serious hardship for defendants or their families, courts may allow service credit of at least $12 per hour. Courts may also reduce unpaid fines, fees, surcharges, and interest by costs paid for court-ordered treatment or courses. Defendants must complete the court's treatment or course requirements and provide proof of completion and payment. These hardship options exclude restitution principal and interest but cover debts whether overdue or not, including mandatory and discretionary charges. Courts may deny service credit or treatment-cost reductions if prosecutors object that relief is not in the interests of justice. Defendants under the board's jurisdiction can ask the board to change payment schedules before their sentence ends. The board may approve changes using required payment-setting factors when changed circumstances or new evidence show serious hardship.
