Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Privacy protections for substance use treatment records

Beginning May 6, 2026, substance use treatment records handled under Utah’s medical examiner records law retain applicable privacy protections. Utah and federal limits apply both when those records are first shared and when they are shared again. This covers records created or kept in connection with substance use disorder treatment.

Utah expands overdose response and death prevention

Beginning May 6, 2026, Utah’s health department has clear authority to investigate and control overdose hazards, including overdose deaths. Existing limits in Utah health law still apply, and police keep their independent authority to investigate crimes. The department can also identify ways to prevent deaths, intervene, and support people after deaths. That planning authority applies only to deaths under the medical examiner’s jurisdiction.
