Limitation of Actions Amendments

The bill was finalized by updating the effective date from May 6, 2026, to February 24, 2026, and refining the legal text to clarify that no person can be held liable for climate damage unless they specifically violated emission limits or permits. The definition of greenhouse gases was expanded to include sulfur hexafluoride, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and nitrogen trifluoride, while removing water vapor from the list. Crucially, the liability shield now applies to all persons regardless of whether they reside in or do business within Utah, broadening the protection to out-of-state entities.
