HB 482 Utah House · 2025 General Session

Health and Human Services Reporting Requirements

HB 482 repeals an annual reporting requirement for the Utah Department of Health and Human Services. Specifically, it removes a provision mandating the department to submit a report to the Rules Review and General Oversight Committee by November 1 each year. This change eliminates a specific administrative task for the department without altering other reporting obligations or operational duties. The repeal is implemented through amendments to Utah Code Section 26B-1-207, which previously included this reporting mandate.
