Governmental Immunity Amendments

HB 79 amends Utah's Governmental Immunity Act to expand legal protection for government entities and employees. It explicitly grants immunity from lawsuits when responding to disasters or providing emergency medical services (including by first responders), clarifying that this protection isn't limited to specific emergency types. The bill affects government employees performing these duties, ensuring they cannot be sued for actions taken during disaster response or emergency medical care. These changes are technical amendments to existing immunity provisions with no new funding or significant policy shifts.
