HB 557 Utah House · 2026 General Session

Revisor's Technical Corrections to Utah Code

HB 557 makes minor technical corrections to the Utah Code, primarily updating references, eliminating obsolete language, and fixing numbering errors across numerous existing statutes. It directly affects the Utah Code by ensuring consistency with current laws, including removing expired sunset provisions and updating cross-references. The bill does not create new policies or allocate funds, but adds a coordination clause to resolve conflicts with future legislation passed in 2026. This is a routine procedural update to maintain the accuracy of the legal code.
