Utah's Federalism Commission currently tracks federal laws and actions it believes may encroach on state authority, and existing law already requires most state agencies to publicly post federal guidance letters — the nonbinding written instructions federal agencies issue to explain how they interpret or administer federal law. This bill expands those posting requirements to education entities, including the State Board of Education, the Utah Board of Higher Education, local school boards, and charter school governing boards, and changes where letters must be posted from the Utah Open Data Portal to the Utah Public Notice Website. It also requires any state agency that receives a federal guidance letter to submit a report to the Federalism Commission within 15 days, describing the letter's purpose, its potential fiscal or administrative impacts, and whether the agency believes it may violate federalism principles — with the Commission then reporting annually to the Legislative Management Committee on what it has received. Additionally, the bill directs the attorney general to register trademarks for the "National Federalism Commission" and "National Federalism Initiative" names on behalf of the state.
