Starting in May 2026, any business that inspects, installs, maintains, repairs, or modifies carbon dioxide systems — defined as systems storing or dispensing 100 or more pounds of CO2 — must be licensed by the state fire marshal, and the individual workers performing that service must be separately certified, with limited exceptions for fire officers and supervised trainees. The Utah Fire Prevention Board is directed to create the rules, application forms, and fees to administer this new licensing and certification program. Technicians who service large CO2 systems, such as those used in commercial refrigeration or beverage dispensing, will need to obtain and maintain state certification to continue their work legally.
