For months, the Administrative Rules Review Committee discussed changes to statutes throughout the Utah Code that assign criminal penalties for violating administrative rules. Today, H.B. 80 was publicly released. H.B. 80, sponsored by Rep. Ben Ferry, is the culmination of those discussions. The bill addresses many of the remaining statutes that were not dealt with in S.B. 138 (2007). A few statutes, like those that if changed could threaten primacy in federal programs, were excluded from the bill.
Information about H.B. 80 is available on the Legislature’s web site at http://le.utah.gov/~2008/htmdoc/hbillhtm/hb0080.htm.
