What the bill would do

These points come from the Utah Legislature’s published bill overview.

  • creates an affirmative defense in a civil action for conduct, an omission, or a condition authorized or required by a governmental entity;
  • specifies the circumstances in which the affirmative defense described above does not apply, including in an action for products liability;
  • clarifies when conduct, an omission, or a condition is considered to have occurred for purposes of the affirmative defense;
  • clarifies that lawful authorization to engage in an activity does not eliminate a duty to exercise reasonable care;
  • specifies that the affirmative defense applies regardless of the theory of liability; and
  • abrogates the common law to the extent the common law is inconsistent with the affirmative defense.
