Across six sections of Utah law, this bill would add animal control officers to the legal definition of "first responder." That classification would extend to laws covering workers' compensation benefits for job-related injuries, eligibility for the First Responder Mental Health Services Grant Program and related mental health support resources, Good Samaritan liability protections for those who render emergency aid, the ability to receive driver's license notifications about a person's invisible medical conditions (such as autism or PTSD) during a stop or interaction, and the option to offer voluntary referrals to substance use or mental health services while on duty.
