Joint Resolution Regarding Utah's Protection and Advocacy Agency

SJR 7 is a joint resolution urging Utah's Governor to formally review the state's designation of the Disability Law Center (DLC) as its official Protection and Advocacy (P&A) agency for individuals with disabilities. It does not change current law but encourages the Governor to assess whether the DLC effectively advocates for all disability types and functional capacities, including underserved groups, per federal requirements. The resolution outlines specific steps for a transparent review process, including public notice, a 45-day comment period, public hearings, and ensuring service continuity. It directly affects the Governor, the DLC, and Utah's disability advocacy system, with no funding or legal changes proposed.
