HB 134 Utah House · 2026 General Session

Offender Transfer Amendments

HB 134 amends Utah's laws governing the transfer of probation or parole supervision between states under the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision. It changes the fee for individuals seeking such transfers, requires that offenders must first be under Utah's supervision before applying, and mandates courts or the Board of Pardons and Parole to report arrest warrants for offenders supervised in other states to the National Crime Information Center. The bill also merges two existing reporting requirements for the Bureau of Criminal Identification and repeals one outdated section. These changes directly affect individuals on probation or parole transferring supervision, Utah's Division of Adult Probation and Parole, and state courts handling related warrants.
