Judicial Transparency and Information Access Amendments

Summary

HB 540 directs Utah’s Judicial Council to create and maintain a single online portal where the public can obtain audio recordings and other court records, and it establishes how fees for those records may be charged. The bill also requires the Council to adopt rules governing judges’ financial disclosures and to report on those rules to the Judiciary Interim Committee. By defining many types of private records, the measure seeks to expand transparency while safeguarding sensitive personal information.
