In one paragraph

Utah HB 366 (2024) is a criminal justice bill whose AI-relevant provisions limit algorithmic decision-making. Courts may not rely solely on an algorithm or a risk assessment tool score when deciding on diversion or determining a sentence (Utah Code 77-18-103). The Administrative Office of the Courts must collect data on risk assessment scores. Other provisions on the sentencing commission chair and escape offenses are unrelated to AI. Effective May 1, 2024.

Plain-English summary, written with AI assistance. The official text controls.

What it means for business

Vendors of risk assessment and algorithmic tools used in Utah criminal justice must expect human decision-makers to treat scores as advisory only.
