This bill addresses traditional healing.
This bill:
AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.
Utah law lists several categories of people who can practice health-related work without a state license, including military personnel, students in training programs, and certain out-of-state practitioners. This bill would add traditional healing providers to that list, explicitly exempting them from state licensing requirements when providing traditional healing services as already defined in Utah law, with specific rules for this exemption to be developed by the state licensing division in consultation with Utah Native American tribes and indigenous communities. The bill also makes minor wording updates elsewhere in the same section of law without changing its substance.
