AI-generated summary, reviewed by Better Utah staff.
Utah's voter registration records are currently divided into public and private categories, and this bill reorganizes how that system works. It creates clearer rules about what voter information is available depending on who is asking for it, strengthens restrictions on how voter registration list data can be used or shared, and adds criminal penalties for unlawfully obtaining, using, or disclosing that information. Importantly, voters whose records were previously marked private without a stated reason will have their records reclassified as public unless they take action to request continued privacy protection — and election officers are required to notify those voters before the change takes effect. The bill also requires that when a voter with a private "at-risk" registration signs a ballot petition, their voter ID number and signature date become publicly visible to the same degree as any other signer.
