Effective January 1, 2028, this bill bars Utah hospitals, clinics, and genomic research facilities from using genetic sequencing equipment or software made by, or connected to, countries designated as foreign adversaries — currently including China, Russia, and several others under federal law — and requires those facilities to remove or replace any prohibited equipment already in use. It also prohibits storing Utahns' genetic data on servers located within those countries, requires strong cybersecurity protections for all stored genetic data, and mandates that covered facilities submit a sworn statement of compliance to the attorney general by December 31, 2028, and every ten years after. Violations carry fines of $10,000 per instance, with each individual person's genome processed on prohibited equipment counting as a separate violation.
