Summary

The law prohibits medical and genomic research facilities in Utah from using genetic sequencers or related software that originate from a foreign adversary or its affiliates, and it bars storing genetic data inside those countries. Facilities must certify compliance by the end of 2028 and every ten years thereafter, with $10,000 fines for each violation. The attorney general can enforce the rules and employees who report breaches are protected from retaliation.
