Nuisance Amendments

Summary

The bill overhauls Utah’s nuisance laws by renumbering, repealing and amending many sections of Title 47 and related chapters. It changes definitions, eliminates the common‑law right to sue for a nuisance (except for the attorney general), creates new statutory causes of action for public nuisances, clarifies private‑nuisance claims, and adds a reporting requirement for the Judiciary Interim Committee. The changes affect anyone filing or defending nuisance lawsuits, including private landowners, businesses and government agencies.
