Utah's Sex, Kidnap, and Child Abuse Offender Registry currently requires people convicted of qualifying offenses in other states to register in Utah only if they are actively listed on their home state's equivalent registry. This bill would expand that requirement so that Utah registration also applies to people who are required to be on another state's registry (even if not currently listed), or who would still be on that state's registry if they had continued living there, or who would otherwise be on that registry if they still resided in that jurisdiction; it also clarifies that anyone whose out-of-state offense qualifies as a registrable offense under Utah law, but who was never subject to a registry requirement elsewhere, must register in Utah for the time period Utah law would otherwise require. The bill makes no other substantive changes and would take effect May 6, 2026.
