Utah law currently requires the Department of Health and Human Services to run a community education program about female genital mutilation, and it also sets a time limit on when prosecutors can bring charges for that crime. If passed, this bill would eliminate the requirement for that education program and would add female genital mutilation to the list of serious offenses—alongside rape, murder, and human trafficking—for which there is no statute of limitations, meaning prosecutors could file charges at any point, regardless of how much time has passed since the offense occurred.
