SB 306 Utah Senate · 2026 General Session

Special Districts Modifications

SB 306 modifies Utah's process for areas to withdraw from first responder special districts (those providing fire, paramedic, or emergency services). It specifically creates a new procedure for counties of the first class to initiate withdrawal, requiring the county's governing body to adopt a resolution approving the withdrawal within 180 days of municipal incorporation. The bill also updates requirements for feasibility studies on withdrawal and changes how district boards must file documents with the lieutenant governor after receiving withdrawal notice. These changes primarily affect counties seeking to leave first responder districts and the districts themselves, streamlining administrative steps without new funding.
