AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
New rules for protecting Utah's critical systems — power grids, water systems, emergency communications, and government data networks — from foreign adversary threats take effect under this bill. It directs the Utah Cyber Center to develop and annually update security guidance for government agencies, publish a prohibited list of foreign adversary technologies (drawing from existing federal ban lists), and bar government entities and critical infrastructure providers from purchasing or deploying anything on that list starting July 1, 2026. The bill also prohibits any company or government entity with significant access to critical infrastructure from entering into agreements that would give a foreign adversary government, party, or business remote access to or control over those systems, with a narrow exception when no reasonable alternative exists.
