Legislative Changes

The legislature makes changes to the Utah Code only by passing bills during official "sessions." Each year there is one General Session of the legislature during January and February. There may also be brief Special Sessions of the legislature but only when the Governor calls the legislature in. The Governor controls the topics that can be dealt with during a special session. (For complete information on the activities of the legislature, see our Legislative Tracking Service.)

Effective Dates of Changes.

Changes to the Utah Code go into effect 60 days after the close of the session in which the bill making the change passed unless the bill itself provides a different date. Bills that provide an effective date earlier than 60 days after the end of the session require a 2/3 vote in both houses to have the earlier effect. Bills may provide an effective date later than 60 days after the end of the session without any special vote requirement.

Because of fairly common use of delayed effective dates, there may be one or more versions of the same Utah Code section in the code database at the same time. To differentiate these versions, the Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel inserts a parenthetical note to indicate the relevant dates. The phrase indicates that the version of the section is either "superceded" or "effective" on a specific date.

Editorial, non-substantive changes

The Utah Code gives authority to legislative staff to correct technical errors in legislation. This power includes making corrections in numbering, punctuation, wording and resolving problems in merging the effect or priority of multiple enactments that change the same section of the Utah Code. (See Utah Code 36-12-12 for the complete statuatory authority.)

When the legislature notifies us of such changes to the Utah Code database, we will include them here. We regularly obtain updates of the Utah Code database.
