A package of changes to Utah's criminal justice system aimed at improving outcomes for people leaving incarceration, this bill requires county jails to help inmates sentenced to at least six months obtain or renew a state-issued ID or driver license before release, coordinating virtually with the Driver License Division and covering some costs through a voucher, though these requirements do not apply to inmates who are not U.S. citizens or lawful residents authorized to work in the U.S. It also requires the Department of Corrections to identify and share housing resources for people leaving prison, build a secure digital portal for attorney-client communications once a digital communications program is in place, and report annually on what incentives—including those that may shorten sentences—are offered to inmates and how they're used. Substance abuse treatment programs must share a participant's drug test results with their supervising probation or parole officer or corrections treatment staff when the participant has signed a waiver allowing this under federal health privacy law, and the Division of Adult Probation and Parole must track and annually report where people on parole are living, including whether they are in treatment centers, shelters, private residences, or without a known address.
