Bill > HB0321

This bill modifies the Utah Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Act by updating several key provisions related to the state's hosting of the 2034 Winter Games. The bill redefines terms such as "host committee" and introduces a new concept of "corporation directors," specifying that board members appointed by international Olympic organizations are not considered corporation directors. It adjusts the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Coordination Committee's structure and duties, reducing the frequency of host committee reports from twice to once per year and allowing for verbal or written reporting. The bill requires the host committee to list the state as an additional insured on insurance policies and ensures that the state is not liable for the host committee's failures. A new provision is added requiring host representatives (the governor, Senate president, and House speaker) to approve key host committee positions like the chair, vice chair, and replacement corporation directors, with this approval being a condition for receiving state services or resources. The bill also removes previous sections related to host agreements and host assurances, streamlining the state's approach to hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The changes are set to take effect on May 7, 2025, providing a clear timeline for implementation of these modifications.
