Plain-Language Summary

AI-generated summary, reviewed by Better Utah staff.

When a court enters a money judgment against an individual and the winning party wants to place a lien on that person's real property, this bill limits the identifying information that must be included in the filing. Under current law, the full Social Security number, full date of birth, and driver's license number are required if known; this bill changes that to require only the last four digits of the Social Security number, the month and year of birth (not the full date), and the driver's license number. This reduces the amount of sensitive personal data included in publicly recorded court documents, offering modest privacy protections to individuals who have judgments filed against their property.
