Child Welfare Revisions

Summary

HB 105 changes Utah law to let a parent or guardian ask the juvenile court to change or end a permanent custody or guardianship order if there’s a substantial change in circumstances. The bill sets procedures for filing petitions, required investigations, and notice to interested parties, while limiting petitions after parental‑rights termination or during an existing permanent guardianship. It provides a legal path for families to seek custody restoration in the child’s best interest.
