Utah's appellate defense division must provide services for covered appeals about ending or restoring parental rights under the adoption law. The appeal must be an appeal of right. Separately, juvenile-court orders for the two adoption categories identified in the law can remain effective after age… - Adoption placements no longer favor married couples: benefit, medium. For children in Division custody, the law removes the adoption placement requirement favoring married couples. The Division and child-placing agencies can consider a broader set of prospective adoptive placements. - Child safety rules recognize more parents: benefit, medium. Juvenile law recognizes legally established parent-child relationships, including noncustodial parents, subject to a stated statutory exception. Child services must maintain protective custody when no parent, guardian, or responsible relative can and will provide safe, appropriate care. That safety… - Consent protections for unmarried birth fathers: benefit, medium. An unmarried biological father's consent is required in covered adoptions connected to Utah residence, birth, or adoption consent. Fathers unaware of that connection, and unable reasonably to know, must establish parental and notice rights before the mother's consent or relinquishment. They must al… - Court protection for children facing abduction: benefit, medium. Courts must issue a prevention order when credible evidence shows a risk that a child may be abducted. A court can act on a petition or on its own. The order must include steps reasonably designed to prevent abduction while considering custody, visitation, and parenting-time rights. - Foster parents get removal review protections: benefit, medium. Before removal, child welfare staff must speak with foster parents, give written reasons, and offer neutral review; licensing action waits until required proceedings end. After two years of placement, foster parents can request review by a juvenile court judge. Staff must explain removal procedures… - More dependents qualify under victim restitution rules: benefit, medium. Children under 18 and incapacitated people can qualify as dependents when a deceased or permanently impaired victim was their parent or legal guardian. The victim must have had a legal duty to support them when the crime occurred. The relationship rule is no longer limited to biological or adoptive… - More information and guidance for adoptive families: benefit, medium. For covered placements more than 60 days after May 4, 2022, agencies must explain adoption challenges before placement. Coverage includes foster or institutional care, prior or foreign adoption, foreign origin, noncitizenship, attachment or trauma disorders, and prenatal substance exposure. Agencie… - Adoptive parents receive children’s health histories: benefit, low. When a minor’s Utah adoption is finalized, the petitioner’s representative or involved child-placing agency must file a nonidentifying history report. The report includes detailed health, genetic, and social history. Adoptive parents receive a copy. - Deployed parents get temporary custody protections: benefit, low. From deployment notice through deployment's end, courts can issue temporary caregiving orders, subject to Utah law and federal servicemember protections. A permanent order requires the deploying parent's consent. Courts must follow earlier deployment custody orders unless Utah's custody-change rule… - Families get revised adoption filing rules: benefit, low. Adoption cases can be filed in a Utah judicial district rather than being limited to a county. The law also clarifies juvenile and district courts' authority over adoption cases. The supplied provisions do not explain how cases are divided between those courts. - Foreign adoptees gain simpler document rules: benefit, low. Petitions to adopt a child classified as an alien no longer need written proof of lawful admission. This does not change the child's immigration status. Utah must prepare birth certificates for Utah adoptees who were alien children at adoption or adults born abroad. Applicants must present the adop… - Foster families gain safeguards against evasion: benefit, low. People cannot intentionally evade foster-parent safeguards by taking or encouraging action against a foster parent's license. They also cannot evade those safeguards by removing a child before the placement reaches two years. - International support cases get help and safeguards: benefit, low. Utah's health and human services department must send and receive Hague Convention support applications and help cases proceed. Its duties cover specified requests to establish, recognize, enforce, or change support orders.

At a deploying parent's request, courts can give an adult relative with a close, substantial relationship caretaking authority, consistent with the child's best interests and other Utah law. Unless the other parent agrees, care cannot exceed the deploying parent's permanently ordered time, or habit… - Military families can seek temporary support: benefit, low. A Utah court can issue temporary child support for a deployment caregiving arrangement under other Utah support law. A court order or parental agreement must first grant caretaking authority. The court must have authority under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act. This provision sets no suppo… - More counseling time for relinquishing parents: benefit, low. Parents whose consent or relinquishment is required can choose up to three adoption counseling sessions, each at least 50 minutes. Sessions can occur before relinquishment or within 120 days afterward, rather than the former three-month window. The parent chooses a licensed counselor or adoption se… - More families qualify for updated birth certificates: benefit, low. Utah-born people can request a supplementary birth certificate when their parents later marry and they are legally recognized as their child. Eligibility is no longer limited to natural parents. - Parents gain voice in child welfare: benefit, low. Child welfare workers and juvenile courts must seriously consider parents’ wishes and protected rights; workers must use the least intrusive available means. In covered parental-rights cases, courts treat parental care as best for the child and should transfer custody only for compelling reasons wi… - Parents’ gender identity views receive protection: benefit, low. Courts cannot discriminate against a parent in custody or parent-time decisions for agreeing or disagreeing with a child’s stated gender identity. This protection applies when the child’s stated or expressed identity differs from the child’s biological sex. - Placement and visitation protections for adoptive families: benefit, low. When a court hears competing adoption petitions, a qualifying petitioner gets a placement presumption that opposing evidence can overcome. The child must have lived with that petitioner continuously for 180 days, and adoption requirements must be met. In custody orders covered by the adoption law,… - Egg donation gets recorded consent exception: benefit, low. Egg donation for another woman's assisted reproduction is exempt from the recorded-consent requirement for a married woman and her husband. The exception removes that consent step for the covered arrangement. - Local government workers get pregnancy-loss leave: benefit, low. Utah municipalities and county personnel rules must provide at least three paid workdays of bereavement leave after miscarriage or stillbirth. Leave covers the employee's own loss or a spouse's or partner's loss. It also covers a former spouse's or partner's loss when the employee would have been a… - More parents can share medication review records: benefit, low. The psychotropic medication oversight team can receive health and medication records from parents, not only natural parents. This applies to foster children and qualifying minors committed to juvenile justice services. The team must request the records under the applicable business associate agreem… - Child welfare response to illegal transfers: benefit, low. Beginning May 4, 2022, child welfare staff can act when they reasonably suspect a prohibited custody transfer has happened or will happen. They can make home visits allowed by state law and take appropriate steps to protect the child. For home visits involving children adopted or placed through int… - Tribes recognized in child abduction prevention: benefit, low. The child abduction prevention law treats federally recognized Indian tribes and nations as states. This includes those tribal governments among the jurisdictions recognized by that chapter. - Support duties for intended parents: cost, high. Intended parents who sign a gestational agreement can owe child support even without court approval of the agreement. This applies when a child is born under the agreement, even if the agreement is otherwise unenforceable. Liability includes expenses and fees listed in Utah law; no dollar amount is… - Support duties when children live elsewhere: cost, medium. Utah’s health and human services department gains support-payment enforcement authority when children live in department-licensed or certified settings outside their homes. When a juvenile court awards permanent custody and guardianship to an individual or relative, it can order parents to pay supp… - Tighter adoption consent and paternity rules: cost, medium. A lawfully separated married adult needs the spouse’s consent to adopt a minor if the spouse can give consent. No one can sign or file a paternity declaration after adoption consent or relinquishment has been signed. In a Utah adoption, an out-of-state parentage order or paternity declaration alone… - Adults face age limits for adoption: cost, low. An adult adopter must be at least 10 years older than the person being adopted. For married couples adopting together, at least one spouse must meet that age gap. A lawfully separated married adopter also needs consent from a spouse who can give consent. Stepparent adoptions of adults born in Utah… - Assistance recipients must help establish parentage: cost, low. People whose support rights are assigned for public assistance must cooperate when Utah's Office of Recovery Services requests parentage help. Cooperation can include providing identifying information and taking ordered genetic tests. They must not undermine the office's rights. Good cause or anoth… - Fees for adoption information services: cost, low. The responsible office must set a fee for requests for covered adoption information or services. The law does not state the amount. Fees and donations go into a dedicated General Fund account and can only support those services, automation, improvements, or potential matches. - Filing duties for competing support orders: cost, low. A request to decide which child support order controls must include every current order and the applicable payment record. The requester must notify everyone whose rights may be affected. After a ruling, the person who obtained it has 30 days to file certified copies with every court or tribunal th… - Pregnancy alcohol campaign loses funding protection: cost, low. The Drinking While Pregnant Prevention Media and Education Campaign account loses its listed protection allowing appropriated money to carry forward. The law does not state an appropriation amount or eliminate the campaign through this provision. - Adoption limits and priorities for families: mixed, medium. An adult adopting a minor must be at least 10 years older; for married couples, one spouse must qualify. State and agency adoption placements of children in their legal custody favor married couples. Exceptions cover the lack of a suitable married couple, qualifying relatives, existing relationship… - Adoption records access expands with privacy limits: mixed, medium. Utah-born adoptees age 18 or older can inspect adoption documents without a court order with a pre-existing parent's consent. That access also applies when the pre-existing parents listed on the original birth certificate are deceased. Pre-existing parents can choose which contact details, medical… - Adoptive families face checks with exceptions: mixed, medium. Adoptions of minors or vulnerable adults require evaluations before placement and before the final hearing, subject to exceptions. The first includes background checks, abuse and neglect history, and a home study; courts can waive the later evaluation on request unless it serves the adoptee’s best… - Adult adoption changes existing parents' rights: mixed, medium. Adult adoption generally ends an existing parent's rights and duties at the adoption decree or earlier termination of those rights. That release does not apply when the existing parent is lawfully married to the adopter. Courts can preserve rights through required notice, consent, and a finding tha… - Adult adoption rights come with safeguards: mixed, medium. Adult adoption creates a legal parent-child relationship with its rights and duties; the adoptee can take the parent's family name. The court must find that adoption serves the adult's interests. The adult and prospective parents must appear, consent, and sign an agreement recognizing the adult as… - Child abuse offenses limit adoption eligibility: mixed, medium. Adults convicted of, or pleading guilty or no contest to, aggravated sexual abuse of a child generally cannot adopt minors. The bar also covers attempts. A court can consider an exception only with clear and convincing evidence supporting the required findings. At least 10 years must pass after suc… - Child safety shapes parents’ custody rights: mixed, medium. Courts must consider domestic violence evidence and put the child’s and abused parent’s safety first. A cohabitant-abuse protective order counts as evidence of actual or substantiated potential harm; violence-related moves require specific findings and orders. Courts generally cannot grant custody… - Families get fast custody enforcement hearings: mixed, medium. Parent-time cases count as custody proceedings, and a verified enforcement petition with required records normally gets a hearing the next judicial day after service. If impossible, the hearing occurs the first possible day; the petitioner can request more time. Courts must order delivery to someon… - Foreign support enforcement has contest deadlines: mixed, medium. Convention support orders must be registered with required order, enforceability, notice, arrears, adjustment, and legal-assistance records. Courts must enforce registered orders unless a listed refusal ground applies. A contest is due within 30 days after notice, or 60 days for someone living outs… - Foreign support orders get enforcement paths: mixed, medium. Under international support-convention rules, people can directly seek support establishment, changes, parentage decisions, or recognition and enforcement of orders or agreements. Utah law governs establishment, changes, and parentage; convention procedures govern recognition and enforcement, and d… - Limits on informal child custody transfers: mixed, medium. Beginning May 4, 2022, parents, guardians, and adoption caregivers cannot transfer custody intending to abandon parental rights and duties outside authorized routes. Those routes include adoption, guardianship, court custody orders, agency placement, specified court or tribal actions, and safe reli… - Limits on parents’ past support payments: mixed, medium. In a parentage action, past support liability reaches back only four years before the action began. Under a voluntary paternity declaration, the limit is four years before the declaration was filed. These limits reduce what a parent can owe and what a recipient can collect. A presumed or declaring… - Moving parents face notice and visitation rules: mixed, medium. Parents moving 150 miles or more from the other parent must give written notice at least 60 days ahead. The notice must affirm that parenting time and parental rights will be respected; missing notice is contempt of court. Unless the court orders otherwise, children ages 5 to 18 get a minimum sched… - Moving parents share children’s travel costs: mixed, medium. When a move serves the child’s best interests, the court sets parent-time and travel costs, considering the move’s reason, burdens, and parents’ finances. Unless the court orders otherwise, the moving parent pays specified holiday travel costs. That parent also pays half of extended-visit travel co… - Optional parenting schedule affects child support: mixed, medium. For children ages 5 to 18, an optional schedule includes weekday visits, alternating weekends, holidays, and summer time. The noncustodial parent gets up to four summer weeks, including two uninterrupted weeks; the custodial parent gets two uninterrupted weeks. The schedule counts as 145 overnights… - Parents face binding adoption consent rules: mixed, medium. Required adoption consent or relinquishment takes effect when signed and cannot be revoked; implied consent also cannot be withdrawn. Consent can be implied from leaving a child with someone for 30 consecutive days without identifying information. Leaving a child for 180 consecutive days without su… - Parents face standards for custody changes: mixed, medium. Known access to a qualifying offender counts as a substantial and material change for seeking a custody change. This covers living with or allowing access to people with specified child-related offender registrations or convictions. It does not automatically change custody. Changing joint custody r… - Parents face temporary support and costs: mixed, medium. In a proceeding under the covered chapter, a tribunal can order a birth mother to pay temporary support when appropriate. A support order can include costs, fees, interest, income withholding, automatic adjustments, reasonable attorney fees, and other relief. When juvenile courts give an individual… - Returning military parents regain custody access: mixed, medium. Returning military parents can agree with the other parent to end temporary deployment custody arrangements on a chosen date. Without a date, private agreements end when both sign; courts must end agreed temporary orders immediately. Without agreement, arrangements end 30 days after return notice t… - Safety checks for foster and adoptive homes: mixed, medium. Before placement of a child or vulnerable adult in state custody, prospective foster or adoptive parents and household adults must pass checks. These include fingerprint-based national criminal checks and child-abuse registry checks covering states of residence during the prior five years. Exceptio… - Teen birth parents can approve adoption: mixed, medium. Birth parents under 18 can consent to their minor child's adoption or give up custody for adoption. Their consent or relinquishment has the same legal force as an adult's. They cannot revoke it just because they later turn 18 or become emancipated. - Unmarried fathers face adoption rights deadlines: mixed, medium. For placement more than 180 days after birth, an unmarried father's consent generally depends on relationship, responsibility, support, or qualifying cohabitation. At 180 days or younger, he generally must complete parentage, affidavit, registry-notice, and pregnancy and birth expense steps before… - Adoption consent rights and timing change: mixed, low. Adoptees age 12 or older must consent when they have the mental capacity; the rule now includes exactly age 12. Consent is also required from a court-recognized parent whose parentage was established before the birth mother's consent or relinquishment. Other required consents or relinquishments can… - Adoption filing deadlines change for families: mixed, low. Prospective adoptive parents no longer must file a minor’s adoption petition within 30 days after placement in their home. The law gives no replacement deadline for that requirement. For competing petitions, hearing eligibility includes a 240-day deadline after the shelter hearing for a placement r… - Adoption privacy limits hearings and records: mixed, low. A court can close an adoption hearing at a party’s request; attendance beyond legally allowed participants requires a good-cause order. Adoption records are sealed, but parties can inspect them during the case and for 180 days after the final decree. Later access requires legal authority or court a… - Birth and paternity records for families: mixed, low. For live births outside a birthing facility without a listed attendant, the mother or presumed or declaring father must file registration. Before signing a paternity declaration, parents must receive written and spoken notice about alternatives, legal effects, rights, and duties. Parentage decision… - Broader parent and relative definitions: mixed, low. A parent of a child's sibling counts as a relative under the covered child-protection rules. A qualifying friend must be a nonparent adult with an established relationship with the child or family. Affected rules now refer to any parent, not only a natural parent, including unrepresented parents' a… - Court process rules for proving parenthood: mixed, low. District courts can transfer parentage cases to juvenile court when both courts have legal authority to hear them. Parentage trials require clear and convincing evidence. A settlement with an alleged father is binding only after court or administrative tribunal approval, and parties must keep their… - Deployment custody grants can change: mixed, low. Either parent or a nonparent holding temporary caregiving or contact rights can ask the court to change or end them. Changes must follow deployment-custody law and serve the child's best interests. The court must end a limited-contact grant when the deploying parent requests it. Changes end through… - Families face court limits and locations: mixed, low. The Business and Chancery Court generally cannot hear related domestic-relations claims. Exceptions cover compulsory counterclaims, material risks of conflicting outcomes, and specified temporary remedies. Outside that court, parentage cases go where the child lives or is found. If the child lives… - Families get revised adoption filing rules: mixed, low. A minor's adoption petition can be filed before birth and before or after placement in the prospective parent's home. The law removes the old timing language, including its 30-day filing deadline after placement. Adoption venue now uses judicial districts rather than counties, including the distric… - Families resolve competing child support orders: mixed, low. A party or support agency can ask Utah to identify the controlling order when multiple orders cover the same payer and child. Utah must have authority over the payer and the individual owed support; requests can stand alone or accompany enforcement or modification filings. Utah keeps exclusive auth… - Foster families get removal safeguards with exceptions: mixed, low. The Division must provide foster families procedural protections before removing a child unless a statutory exception applies. The return-to-parent exception now covers any parent, not only a natural parent. Age- or health-based removal from a relative foster parent requires proof about that person… - Fraud alone cannot undo adoptions: mixed, low. A fraudulent statement does not excuse compliance with adoption law. By itself, it cannot dismiss an adoption petition, cancel a decree, or automatically give custody to the person harmed. Courts must decide custody based on the child’s best interests. - Interstate child placements gain support enforcement tools: mixed, low. Utah can use child- and spousal-support enforcement laws when someone partly or fully defaults on interstate child-placement compact duties. This provides another enforcement route for obligations connected to covered placements. The law sets no new support amount. - Limits on changing foreign child support: mixed, low. Utah generally cannot change a Convention child support order while the person owed support remains in the issuing country. Utah can act if that person accepts Utah's authority. It can also act if the foreign tribunal lacks or refuses authority to change the order or issue a new one. - Military families can make caregiving agreements: mixed, low. Parents can make temporary deployment caregiving agreements, signed by both parents and any nonparent receiving authority. When feasible, agreements cover deployment details, care and decision-making, nonparent contact, disputes, parent-child contact costs, support, filing, and ending care after re… - Military parents get temporary caregiving options: mixed, low. Courts cannot count past or possible deployment alone against a parent, but can consider significant effects on the child. A deploying parent can give an adult nonparent caregiving authority through a power of attorney and revoke it in writing. This option requires that no other parent has custody… - Military parents must share caregiving updates: mixed, low. A deploying parent must notify the other parent in a record within seven days of receiving deployment notice. If service prevents timely notice, it is due as soon as reasonably possible. Each parent must share a caregiving plan as soon as reasonably possible; notice is unnecessary when parents livi… - Out-of-state custody orders gain Utah enforcement: mixed, low. Utah courts must enforce out-of-state custody orders that meet jurisdiction rules and have not been changed under those rules. Registration requires a request, two order copies including one certified copy, a sworn statement about changes, and identifying details. A person served with notice has 20… - Parentage rules cover mothers and visits: mixed, low. The law applies the chapter’s paternity rules to maternity determinations as well. It defines a birth mother as the woman who gives birth, excluding a gestational mother from that term. After finding an alleged father is a parent, a tribunal can order parent-time on its own or at his request. This… - Parents can face custody travel costs: mixed, low. Utah courts can require an in-state party or someone holding the child in Utah to appear, with or without the child. When an out-of-state party is directed to appear or chooses to appear, another party can be ordered to pay. Payment covers reasonable and necessary travel and other expenses for that… - Parents get custody protections and remedies: mixed, low. For separated or divorcing parents, the law favors frequent, meaningful contact and active involvement by both parents. This presumption ends when evidence more likely than not shows real harm or substantiated potential harm to the child. Courts must assess legal fees for frivolous custody or paren… - Parents get support procedures and review: mixed, low. The Office of Recovery Services uses parentage procedures to establish parentage and establish, change, or enforce support orders. It can require genetic testing of the child, birth mother, and alleged father in those cases. Tribunals can order two or more individuals tested together or in sequence… - Prospective adoptive parents can take care duties: mixed, low. After a prospective adoptive parent receives an agency-placed child at home, the agency can delegate daily care and support duties. Those duties can include needed medical or surgical care. A qualifying temporary residence can count as the petitioner's home, though the supplied text does not detail… - Safety and disclosure rules for custody cases: mixed, low. Before declining a custody case, Utah courts must hear from the parties and weigh safety, finances, residence, and available evidence. Parties must provide known information under oath about the child's five-year home history, related cases, and custody claims. They must report later cases that cou… - Support cases can delay interstate surrender: mixed, low. These rules cover interstate surrender requests involving criminal charges for failure to provide support. For outgoing requests, Utah's governor can require proof that support proceedings began at least 60 days earlier or are futile. For incoming requests, the governor can investigate or delay sur… - Interstate support orders include children's health coverage: mixed, low. Utah employers must follow another state's income-withholding order when they receive it, including directions for withholding and distributing money. This includes orders requiring a parent to provide a child's health coverage through a policy available at work. The rule supports children's covera… ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Sponsor: Todd Weiler (Republican), Senate - Cosponsor: Anthony E.
