Refugee Services Amendments

SB 31 creates a Refugee Services Office within Utah's Department of Workforce Services to provide resettlement services and a cash assistance program for refugees. The office will coordinate with community partners, report annually on refugee services, and manage a Refugee Services Fund funded by state appropriations, federal grants, and donations (excluding administrative costs). It replaces outdated sections of law and makes technical updates without appropriating new state funds. This bill directly affects refugees in Utah who qualify under federal definitions and receive resettlement support.
