Rulemaking Amendments

Summary

The bill adds rules that prevent Utah agencies from adopting environmental health or waste‑management regulations that are stricter than existing federal laws unless they are fully supported by the best available scientific evidence. It defines key terms, sets a “sound science” requirement, and outlines exceptions for federal‑mandated or less‑stringent rules. The measure aims to ensure state regulations are scientifically justified and not more burdensome than federal standards.
