Bill Overview

Local schools get more cybersecurity help
Beginning May 6, 2026, Utah Cyber Center services extend to local education agencies. Support includes finding cyber threats, planning for disruptions, responding to attacks, and sharing security practices. The Center must coordinate incident response when an agency requests it and assist with breaches reported under state law. Assistance can include investigating breaches, finding their scope, and helping restore systems. These duties depend on legislative funding.
Utah creates a cybersecurity funding account
Beginning May 6, 2026, the law creates a cybersecurity account in Utah’s General Fund, managed by the Utah Cyber Center. It moves the Center’s statewide cybersecurity plan deadline from June 30, 2024, to January 1, 2027. The account accepts state appropriations, federal grants, private donations and grants, gifts, bequests, and interest. Subject to legislative funding, money supports the plan, government and school cybersecurity tools, breach response, assessments, training, technology, and threat sharing. Unspent appropriations carry forward, interest stays in the account, and the law sets no funding amount.
Utah removes government zero-trust security requirements
Beginning May 6, 2026, the law repeals Utah’s statute on zero-trust cybersecurity systems. Covered entities no longer face that statute’s implementation requirements and reporting rules. The repeal does not create a household payment or duty.
