County Employment Amendments

Summary

The measure changes Utah’s county employment statutes so that most peace‑officer jobs in a sheriff’s office are automatically classified as exempt from the merit‑system and career‑service classifications. A sheriff could still label a position as a merit‑system role, but only if that designation is made before July 1, 2026. The bill also adds definitions, a public‑hearing requirement for status changes, and incentives for voluntary conversion.
