This bill makes several administrative updates to how Utah's executive branch agencies are structured and managed, effective May 6, 2026. It officially places the Utah Office of Data Privacy within the Department of Government Operations, gives that department formal oversight authority over the state's accounting system and payroll services, and shifts the Division of Finance director's responsibility from auditing all claims against the state to overseeing internal financial controls. It also brings the Division of Technology Services under the state's central payroll system, and renames the heads of 13 major state agencies — including the departments of Health and Human Services, Corrections, and Transportation — from "executive director" or "director" to "commissioner," without changing their duties or pay.
