Utah's multi-agency joint strike force — a partnership between the Office of the Attorney General and the Department of Public Safety that combats economically harmful crime — is expanded by this bill to explicitly include metal theft (defined as stealing items for their scrap or resale metal value) alongside existing targets like organized retail crime and antitrust violations. The bill also requires the strike force to report annual data on catalytic converter thefts and arrests to the State Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice, where it will be posted on Utah's public safety data portal.
