Revisor's Technical Corrections to Utah Code
What changed between versions
New Section 9-9-104.6 requires state agencies (including Health and Human Services, Natural Resources, Workforce Services, Economic Opportunity, State Board of Education, and Utah Board of Higher Education) to designate a contact person for coordinating with tribal governments on matters affecting Native Americans in the state, and allows those contacts to participate in joint meetings between the division and tribal representatives.
Added repeal of Section 26B-1-305 (American Indian-Alaska Native Health Liaison), which was previously enacted in 2022. This removes that liaison position from the code, likely because its function is being absorbed into the new tribal coordination framework in Section 9-9-104.6.
The highlighted provisions no longer mention removing duplicated sections regarding the School Security Task Force, suggesting that provision was dropped from this substitute version or handled in separate legislation.
Added a coordination clause stating that if any provision of this bill conflicts with another bill enacted during the 2025 General Session, the other bill controls. This is a standard legislative mechanism to avoid conflicts when multiple bills amend the same code sections in the same session.
