By December 31, 2026, this bill would require Utah's attorney general, working with the Department of Health and Human Services, to formally petition the Federal Communications Commission to create a short, easy-to-remember three-digit phone number — similar to 911 or 988 — for the National Human Trafficking Hotline, which currently requires callers to dial a full 10-digit number. If the FCC approves such a code, the state's Department of Health and Human Services would coordinate with federal officials and the nonprofit that runs the hotline to help put it into use, and the attorney general could work with phone carriers and run public awareness campaigns about the new number. The bill specifies that Utah is not claiming any authority to control phone numbering systems or to force call routing on its own, since those matters remain governed by federal law.
