Peace Officer and Dispatcher Standards Amendments

Summary

HB 455 changes Utah law so that people who had a criminal conviction that was later expunged or dismissed can still be admitted to a police academy or sit for a dispatcher exam, provided they meet strict conditions. It applies to peace‑officer and dispatcher candidates and adds detailed eligibility rules while keeping background‑check requirements. The change expands the pool of eligible applicants without providing new funding.
