Bill > SB0251

This bill establishes a registration process for life coaches in Utah. It defines a "life coach" as an individual who provides ongoing, professional, and paid services to clients to help them achieve personal, professional, or lifestyle goals. The bill requires life coaches to obtain a certificate of registration from the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL) and outlines the application requirements, including details about the applicant's training, experience, and any criminal or disciplinary history. The bill also sets forth the grounds for DOPL to refuse, revoke, or restrict a life coach's registration, and allows DOPL to further define unlawful and unprofessional conduct. The bill exempts certain licensed professionals, members of the clergy, and individuals providing advice to friends or family members from the registration requirement.
