Bill > HB0384

This bill makes several changes to the Department of Government Operations, including adding the Utah Office of Data Privacy as a division and clarifying the department's oversight of the state accounting system and payroll services. It also requires divisions within the department to establish and distribute service plans outlining the services they provide to state agencies, and it modifies the Division of Finance's responsibilities regarding the state accounting system and financial controls, shifting from auditing claims to monitoring internal controls. Additionally, the bill clarifies that certain executive branch entities are required to use the central payroll system managed by the Division of Finance and, starting May 6, 2026, renames several gubernatorial appointees from "executive director" or "director" to "commissioner" without altering their duties or compensation.
