Limitation of Actions Amendments

Summary

The bill changes Utah law so that a person or business cannot be sued for climate‑related injury unless a court finds, by clear and convincing evidence, that they violated a specific greenhouse‑gas emission limit or permit. It applies to anyone, even out‑of‑state actors, and requires plaintiffs to identify the exact gases and prove direct, unavoidable harm. The change aims to protect entities from broad climate lawsuits while preserving liability for clear statutory violations.
