• H.B. 176 Trust Business Modifications · Senate floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026

  Explains that the bill narrows trust company language in response to concerns from the Bank of Utah and the Bankers Association, and that the remaining sections are technical changes.

  Read what they said

  And to clarify that this section does not apply to the other areas of the code on lines 2 77 through two 80, in the occasional and isolated provision, the bill changes the word person to individual. This, uh, is to narrow the language and respond to concerns raised by the Bank of Utah and the Bankers Association that certain entities are trying to act as a trust company without being a depository institution. Uh, the remaining sections of the bill, um, are merely technical changes. And with that, I'll yield to any questions.

• S.B. 142 Private Probation and Court Ordered Services Amendments · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026

  Says the bill clarifies that a private probation provider cannot also provide required mental health, education, or rehabilitation services, so the person can use another provider and the conflict of interest is removed.

  Read what they said

  Thank you Mr. Speaker. We passed this, uh, bill very similarly in a past session. Um, but unfortunately there was some ambiguity in the language. And so this bill is to try to clarify that when a private probation, um, uh, provider is having a, uh, one of the people go through mental health, uh, treatment or they're also having education services or rehabilitation services, they can't also be the provider of those services. Um, what has been happening is that, uh, there has been at least one that we are aware of a probation, uh, provider that will, uh, provide uh, uh, requirements on these individuals that in order to complete probation, they have to, uh, do these mental …

  Presents the bill, which lets rescue organizations request animals from shelters within two days before euthanasia after the five-day stray hold, and says the bill has support from 23 shelter organizations.

  Read what they said

  you Mr. Speaker. Uh, this bill, uh, is an acknowledgement of the great work that our animal shelters and our animal rescue organizations do. Um, it's a private, uh, par, uh, private public partnership arrangement where it's trying to help facilitate the rescue of some of these animals before they're euthanized. Um, right now, the way that this would, this bill would work is that it would allow these rescue organizations reach out to the shelters in their community and, uh, develop a relationship with those organizations. Those, uh, and then when an animal comes in that, uh, may need to be euthanized due to capacity, that they are able to notify those shelters that have expressed an interest, uh, …

  Rejects the substitute motion, saying the bill has statewide support and the two-day notice runs concurrently with the five-day stray hold so it creates no undue burden.

  Read what they said

  Uh, I, uh, I do, I don't like the substitute, second substitute motion. Um, I reject that. Um, if this bill originally came from rural counties, so this imply this, you could see on the letter of support, you have people, organizations from Kane, from Davis, from Carbon, from Iron, from Wayne, um, all across Weber. So this has, uh, broad support statewide has been talked about with a lot of these organizations. Um, one of the comments that was made is the undue, uh, hardship and burden that this would have on these organizations. But if you read the bill, that's not the case. Uh, the, the, the bill was drafted in a way to not have any undue …

  Answers that the shelter determines reasonable alternatives and describes exemptions and the rescue group's notice responsibilities.

  Read what they said

  Uh, thank you Mr. Speaker. It is the shelter that makes that determination. Okay. Just a follow up question. There is what protects local shelters from liability? If someone later claims that that alternative, there was an another alternative that existed, Uh, the bill itself provides, uh, several different exemptions that it would fall under. So if this is an animal, uh, that is on a list of dangerous breeds, um, that does not apply here. And so in those situations, they'd be able to euthanize the animal if the animal is sick. That also falls into this, um, also under this bill, it's the organization, the rescue organization is the burdens on them to provide notice of their intent …

  Answers that the bill protects shelters acting in good faith and does not prevent euthanasia consistent with existing state law.

  Read what they said

  So, uh, under this bill, one, one thing I do wanna point out on line 76 through 78, it does talk about that an animal shelter that is not an animal shelter is not liable for an act or a mission under the section. If the animal shelter acts in good faith based on the information available to the animal shelter at the time of the act or omission. Um, and in this situation, if they don't have the capacity to be able to, uh, uh, handle at this time, I'm going to double check, but I'm pretty sure under the bill that the, this does not prevent an animal shelter from having to euthanize an animal, um, uh, as …

Um, a lot of the concerns that, uh, I've heard raised are also governed by existing law. So there are already, uh, laws in the books that talk about how, uh, animals are, are, can be euthanized in the event of, uh, not enough, uh, capacity at a shelter.
