Disclosures Amendments

HB 460 requires Utah elected officials to disclose travel expenses (including transportation and lodging outside Utah) provided by foreign governments or their agents. It directly affects state legislators and other officials defined under Utah law, mandating disclosure within 31 days if they know or should reasonably know the travel was funded by a foreign entity. The bill specifies that disclosures must include the official's name, travel dates, and the foreign entity's name, and requires the lieutenant governor to make these records publicly available within one business day. This law aims to increase transparency about potential foreign influence in official travel, effective May 7, 2025.
