Plain-Language Summary

AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.

Current Utah law requires the Department of Health and Human Services to develop a community education program about female genital mutilation — a practice that is already illegal in Utah. This bill removes that legal requirement entirely, eliminating the state's obligation to inform communities about the harm and illegality of the practice.
