Federal Requirements Reporting

HB 527 requires Utah's health department and education state board to annually report how they interpret federal health and education rules from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Education. Specifically, these agencies must submit reports by July 1 each year to health and education committees and the Federalism Commission, detailing federal guidance they use to implement rules. The bill includes a coordination clause that would update the reporting requirement to specifically include "federal guidance letters" if both this bill and S.B. 198 pass. This affects state agencies responsible for health and education programs, creating a formal process for tracking federal regulatory impacts. The bill takes effect May 7, 2025, with no funding allocated.
