Youth Service Organizations Amendments

SB 147 updates Utah's requirements for youth service organizations to conduct background checks on potential youth workers. It allows organizations to request a person's full name and, if needed, current government-issued ID to complete registered sex offender checks, while explicitly banning employment or volunteering for anyone listed on state or national sex offender registries. This directly affects youth organizations (like schools, camps, and after-school programs) and individuals applying for roles working with children. The law takes effect on May 7, 2025, unless modified by legislative action before that date.
