Bill > HB0113

This bill amends Utah's vital records law to require the collection of information about whether a deceased individual was a firefighter when completing a certificate of death. The bill adds a provision that allows the state to collect additional information about a deceased person's firefighter service, while maintaining existing rules about data collection and privacy. Specifically, the bill mandates that when collecting supplemental information about military service on a death certificate, the state must now also gather data about whether the deceased was a firefighter. The bill continues to protect personal information by requiring that any additional data collection be voluntary, with clear disclosure about how the information will be used, and includes provisions for individuals to request de-identification of their additional information. The amendments align with existing provisions that prevent the inclusion of Social Security numbers on death certificates and provide safeguards for personal data. The bill is set to take effect on May 7, 2025, giving state agencies time to implement the new data collection requirement.
