Plain-Language Summary
AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Each year, state law requires the Legislature to formally approve the sentencing and supervision guidelines developed by the Utah Sentencing Commission, and this resolution fulfills that requirement by authorizing the 2026 guidelines, which take effect May 6, 2026. These guidelines shape the recommendations judges receive when deciding how long adults serve sentences or remain on supervision, and how juvenile cases are handled in court.
