Utah
The Utah Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy (OAIP) is the first dedicated US state AI regulator. It operates the Utah Artificial Intelligence Learning Laboratory — a regulatory-mitigation sandbox where participating companies receive tailored relief from specific state laws in exchange for data-sharing, safeguards, and audits. Under HB 320 (2026), OAIP may also issue Joint Interpretation Agreements that clarify how existing Utah law applies to AI without waiving the underlying law.
PubLedge treats Utah OAIP's Regulatory Mitigation Agreement (RMA) and Joint Interpretation Agreement (JIA) as the prototypical instruments for its broader registry. The two-instrument architecture — waiver + interpretation — maps cleanly to SEC no-action letters, CFPB advisory opinions, and IRS private letter rulings at the federal level, and to analogous instruments in other jurisdictions.
Why this page exists
Utah's Roadmap for Regulatory Relief commits OAIP to publishing "a public-facing version of the proposal with the agreement" for each RMA, to promote transparency and accountability. PubLedge is a ready-made, versioned, tamper-evident implementation of that commitment — discoverable, linkable, and machine-readable, with no change to OAIP's confidentiality posture.
Separately, HB 320 (2026) §13-72-201(3)(d) requires OAIP to report annually to the Business and Labor Interim Committee on every executed RMA and JIA. PubLedge is a standing public-facing companion to that statutory report — continuously current between November cycles.
Propose a correction
PubLedge's Utah reference instance is a third-party public mirror, not an OAIP product. If you are OAIP staff, a participant, or an outside reviewer who has spotted an inaccuracy, please open a correction issue on GitHub or email hello@paice.work. Every page's frontmatter is versioned in the public repo; corrections land as commits with a clear audit trail.
Related Utah AI statutes (not in this registry)
Per PubLedge's scope, statutes appear here only when a PubLedge instrument cites or interprets them. The following 2025 Utah AI statutes are intentionally not in this registry because no OAIP instrument currently invokes them; their authoritative obligation maps live at EveryAILaw:
- SB 180 (2025) — law-enforcement AI policy + police-report disclosure. See EveryAILaw Utah AI stack.
- SB 271 (2025) — unauthorized AI impersonation / deepfake amendments. See EveryAILaw Utah AI stack.
If OAIP later issues an RMA or JIA that invokes either statute, a scaffolding stub will be added here per the standard.
Statutory Framework
Five bills passed across three legislative sessions form the statutory spine that OAIP interprets and, in limited cases, waives. SB 332 (2025) is included as a scaffolding stub because it extended the Chapter 72 sunset from 2025-05-01 to 2027-07-01, materially affecting every RMA and JIA reliance period; its substantive text lives at EveryAILaw.
