Utah's system for advocating on behalf of people with disabilities is handled by the Disability Law Center (DLC), a nonprofit the Governor designated in 1978 as the state's federally required "Protection and Advocacy" agency to protect the legal rights of Utahns with disabilities. This resolution would formally urge the Governor to review whether the DLC is adequately serving all types of disabilities and all levels of functional need, and whether it has been sufficiently transparent and responsive to families, noting that the DLC has not regularly reported its performance or finances to the state beyond required federal filings. It does not itself remove or replace the DLC's designation, but it lays out a specific process the Governor should follow if a review leads to replacing the agency, including written notice to the DLC, a public notice period, a minimum 45-day public comment period, a public hearing, solicitation of proposals from other qualified nonprofit or public organizations, and a final public decision reported to the Legislature within 30 days. The resolution carries no funding and does not change any existing law, but expresses the Legislature's position encouraging executive action.
