Municipal Prosecutor Amendments

SB 163 allows city attorneys in Utah to employ permanent deputy attorneys to handle public prosecution or civil counsel duties, and to temporarily deputize licensed attorneys (in good standing with the Utah State Bar) for specific legal tasks. It directly affects cities with city attorneys who need to manage prosecutions of local ordinance violations, misdemeanors, or civil cases. The bill amends Utah Code Section 10-3-928 to clarify these staffing options without changing legal standards or requiring new funding.
