Government cybersecurity requirements are affected by this bill, which repeals a section of Utah law enacted in 2023 requiring state government agencies to implement "zero trust architecture" — a cybersecurity approach that continuously verifies every user and device trying to access government computer systems, rather than automatically trusting anyone already inside the network. If passed, this measure would eliminate that requirement along with the implementation standards and reporting obligations that state agencies previously had to follow, taking effect on May 6, 2026.
