Utah's "sunset act" automatically repeals certain laws on a set date unless the legislature acts to keep them. This bill removes the lead acid battery disposal law from that automatic repeal schedule, which had been set to expire July 1, 2026, making those disposal regulations permanent rather than temporary. Retailers and consumers who handle car batteries — which contain toxic lead and acid — will continue to be subject to existing disposal requirements with no expiration date.
