Bill Summary
General Description: This bill addresses provisions regarding female genital mutilation.
AI Summary
This bill amends Utah law to include female genital mutilation as an offense for which prosecution can be commenced at any time, meaning there is no time limit for bringing charges. This change is made by adding "female genital mutilation under Section 76-5-702" to a list of serious crimes, such as murder, kidnapping, and rape, that have no statute of limitations. The bill also repeals a section related to a community education program concerning female genital mutilation and sets an effective date of May 6, 2026.
