What the bill would do

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

  • defines terms;
  • modifies and recodifies provisions relating to: the information in a voter registration record that is available to a person based on the capacity in which the person requests the information; and the requirements to obtain additional privacy protection for a voter registration record;
  • provides that a voter's voter registration record that, before April 6, 2026, was classified as private without requiring a reason for the classification will be reclassified as a public voter registration record, unless the voter takes certain action to obtain additional protection for the voter's voter registration record;
  • requires an election officer to notify a voter whose voter registration is subject to reclassification as described in the preceding paragraph in order to give the voter an opportunity to apply for additional protection for the voter's voter registration record;
  • modifies the voter registration form to reflect the changes made in this bill and to give a voter the option of authorizing disclosure of the voter's telephone number or email address to the political party with which the voter affiliates;
  • requires the lieutenant governor to post information relating to the number of at-risk voters in the state and in individual state House of Representatives districts;
  • establishes additional requirements to ensure the removal of deceased individuals from voter registration records;
  • modifies penalties that may be imposed in relation to the unlawful disclosure of a voter registration record;
  • places restrictions on the use and disclosure of information from the voter registration list;
  • provides criminal penalties for unlawfully obtaining, using, or disclosing information from the voter registration list;
  • provides that if a voter, whose voter registration record is classified as private due to the voter's status as an at-risk voter, signs a petition, the voter's voter identification and the date the voter signed the petition may be publicly disclosed to the same extent, and in the same manner, as the voter identification number and signature date of a voter signing the petition who does not have a private voter registration record;
  • requires a petition to contain a warning regarding the provision described in the preceding paragraph;
  • changes the person responsible for preparing the ballot title and analysis for a proposed constitutional amendment submitted to the voters;
  • provides a coordination clause to merge provisions of this bill with H.B. 209, Voting Amendments, and H.B. 361, Elections Provisions Amendments; and
