House records reading of workers' compensation changes for out-of-state public safety officers for the Olympics
Summary
The House read and entered on the journal Senate Bill 2007, which amends workers' compensation coverage for out-of-state public safety officers during the Olympics so Utah coverage applies as if officers were volunteers while they remain covered by their home states.
The Utah House publicly read and entered on the journal Senate Bill 2007, which makes temporary workers' compensation adjustments for out-of-state public safety officers who will come to Utah for the Olympics.
Representative Alexander explained the amendment provides that out-of-state officers will remain covered by their home-state workers' compensation systems and that Utah would cover them "on the basis of, as if they were volunteers," reducing the state's exposure. The bill was read by title and the Speaker signed the reading; the journal records the entry in October 2001.
The change is presented as a limited, event-specific measure to address liability coverage for visiting officers. The transcript does not include post-passage implementing guidance or funding details; agencies responsible for event planning and intergovernmental coordination would handle operational details.
