Governor Signed
Summary
The bill expands Utah’s emergency reporting abuse statute to make it a crime to call 911 when the caller knows no emergency exists, or to repeatedly make false reports. It also creates penalties for misusing party lines or public pay phones in false emergencies, including fines, possible jail time, and reimbursement of response costs. The changes aim to deter waste of emergency resources and protect public safety.
