Bill > SB0013

This bill amends several sections of Utah law primarily to adjust reporting requirements and repeal dates for various government entities and programs. Key changes include modifying how recidivism data is reported by residential vocational or life skills programs to the State Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice, and updating the detailed reporting requirements for county jails regarding prisoner populations, demographics, deaths, and health policies. It also adjusts reporting requirements for the Department of Health and Human Services concerning inmate healthcare, and modifies the duties of the Division of Emergency Management regarding emergency alert systems. Additionally, the bill repeals various reporting mandates to legislative interim committees, such as those for the Department of Public Safety on emergency alerts, the Department of Corrections on facility supervision models, the Board of Pardons and Parole on recidivism metrics, and the Administrative Office of the Courts on release data, among others, effectively streamlining or eliminating some of these oversight functions. The bill also sets an effective date of May 6, 2026.
