Bill > HB0582

This bill amends existing Utah law to clarify the powers of the board regarding asbestos, specifically by modifying rules related to inspections and sample analysis for asbestos on residential properties with four or fewer units. The changes specify that inspections and sample analysis for asbestos are prohibited on such properties if construction was completed on or after January 1, 1992, but are permitted for renovation, demolition, or disposal projects if construction was completed before January 1, 1981, or between January 1, 1981, and January 1, 1992, for certain materials like sprayed-on textured ceilings, asbestos cement siding, specific flooring products, insulation, or vermiculite. The bill also makes minor technical changes to language, such as changing "Sections" to "Secs." and "a person" to "an individual," and clarifies that a residential property with four or fewer units is subject to asbestos abatement rules if a tested sample contains more than 1% asbestos. Additionally, the bill sets an effective date of May 6, 2026.
