Multi-factor Authentication Amendments

HB 542 repeals Utah's existing requirement for government agencies to implement "zero trust architectures" under Section 63A-16-214. This provision, enacted in 2023, mandated specific cybersecurity protocols for state agencies. The bill removes this requirement without replacing it with new rules. It takes effect on May 6, 2026, impacting how Utah state agencies manage cybersecurity compliance. The repeal has no associated funding or new implementation mechanisms.
