The House approved First Substitute House Bill 105 on Feb. 15, which contains technical and implementation changes for an online construction‑filing repository.
Representative Morley explained amendment #2 (dated Feb. 14) addresses GRAMA (Government Records Access and Management Act) requests and technical changes requested by UDOT during development of Utah Interactive’s repository. He said the bill refines definitions and coordinates clauses and stages the repository’s rollout: commercial contractors remain required to file preliminary notices immediately, while the residential side’s implementation is delayed to allow home builders time to prepare. Representative Morley said the change streamlines filings by moving them online.
Representative Clark offered amendment #3 to repeal section 63‑56‑38.1; Clark described the change as a friendly repealer and waived further comment. The amendment was adopted and the bill as amended passed 70‑0; it will be referred to the Senate for further consideration.
Next steps: the amended bill is referred to the Senate for its consideration.
