HB 282 Utah House · 2025 General Session

Health and Human Services Modifications

HB 282 repeals 49 specific health and human services programs and related committees in Utah, ending their legal authority on set dates ranging from 2024 to 2035. The bill directly affects programs like the Medicaid ACA Fund (repealed 2034), Behavioral Health Crisis Response Committee (repealed 2026), and Utah Health Data Authority (repealed 2026), among others. Key provisions establish fixed repeal dates for each program, removing their funding mechanisms and administrative structures without creating new policies. The changes take effect May 7, 2025, and apply to all programs listed in Utah Code Sections 26B-1-204 through 26B-7-123. This is a procedural sunset of existing programs, not a new legislative action.
