What this bill does
For guardianship cases started on or after May 7, 2025, a court would have to decide whether the incapacitated person is mentally incompetent and therefore barred from voting or holding office in Utah. For people who already had a guardian appointed before that date, the law would presume in certain situations that they are mentally incompetent and cannot vote or hold office.
