Bill > SB0246

This bill amends the Utah Homeless Services Board by adding new provisions for board membership and defining "homeless services campus" as a facility offering emergency shelter, behavioral and mental health treatment, and support services in one location, specifically excluding certain types of facilities like correctional centers or medical facilities. Importantly, it mandates the appointment of individuals to the board who reside within five miles of a newly announced or recommended homeless services campus, or who represent the west side of Salt Lake City if the campus is located there, with specific timelines for these appointments. The bill also clarifies that a "service provider" now includes a state homeless services campus facility. This legislation is set to take effect on May 6, 2026.
