New employment protections in Utah law would prevent employers from telling workers how to handle voluntary interactions with law enforcement officers, including police and immigration officers. Under this bill, employers could not require, prohibit, or penalize employees or job applicants for choosing to cooperate voluntarily with a law enforcement officer, or for choosing not to cooperate when cooperation isn't legally required; this includes protection for workers who simply state their intentions about future cooperation. Employers would still be allowed to require employees to protect the employer's own legal interests during work-related encounters with law enforcement. Employees or applicants who face retaliation for these choices could sue in court for damages, injunctive relief, or other remedies.
