Surveillance and Investigatory Technology Amendments

Summary

The bill would restrict Utah law‑enforcement agencies from using facial‑recognition and other surveillance technologies unless a state statute specifically authorizes the use, and it creates a private right of action for individuals harmed by unlawful use. It also requires agencies to report annually to the State Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice on what technologies were used, with that reporting requirement set to expire in 2033. The measure waives certain government immunities so those lawsuits can proceed and treats illegally obtained information as excludable evidence.
