This bill concerns impermissible law enforcement quotas.
This bill:
AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.
Utah law already prohibits law enforcement agencies from requiring officers to meet quotas for the number of citations or arrests they make. This bill narrows that definition slightly to focus specifically on citation quotas (removing arrests from the definition), while clarifying that targeted overtime shifts tied to grant funding don't count as impermissible quotas. It also spells out more clearly that agencies cannot evaluate, promote, compensate, reward, discipline, or transfer an officer based on whether they meet such a quota, though agencies may still consider an officer's community engagement or enforcement activity as part of overall job performance. Finally, the bill creates a way for people to report suspected quota violations to the State Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice, which must compile these reports and send an annual summary to the Legislature's Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Interim Committee.
