AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Starting July 1, 2027, this bill prohibits Utah law enforcement agencies from using surveillance or investigatory technologies — including facial recognition, location tracking, AI tools, imaging devices, and social media monitoring — unless that specific technology is explicitly authorized by state law, with a narrow exception allowing unauthorized technology for up to 30 days during a declared emergency. Any evidence gathered in violation of this requirement must be excluded from legal proceedings under the same rules that apply to unconstitutional searches, and people harmed by an agency's knowing or reckless violation can sue for damages of at least $2,000 plus attorney fees. Law enforcement agencies must also begin annually reporting which surveillance technologies they used and under what legal authority, with those reports compiled and sent to a legislative oversight committee.
