AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.
House operating procedures for reviewing legislation would gain a new step under this resolution: when a House standing committee considers a bill that would make an occupation subject to state licensing requirements, the committee would be required to check whether the Office of Professional Licensure Review has already conducted a "sunrise review" of that occupation, a formal analysis of whether licensing is necessary and appropriate. The resolution also renames the committee's existing duty from "reviewing" legislation to "considering" it, and clarifies that this fiscal-note requirement continues to apply, meaning committees generally cannot take up a bill unless it has an approved cost estimate, though committees may still consider new substitute versions of a bill even without an approved fiscal note.
