AI Summary
This bill amends existing Utah law to exempt "traditional healing providers" from licensure requirements when practicing "traditional healing services," as defined by law and administrative rules developed in consultation with Utah Native American tribes and indigenous communities. This exemption is added to a list of other professions and individuals who are already exempt from state licensure under certain conditions, such as those serving in the military, students in training, or individuals temporarily consulting with a licensed professional in Utah. The bill also includes an effective date of May 6, 2026.
