SB 129: Lowering the Barrier to Entry for Private Investigators

This bill cuts in half the amount of time one must have in experience to start their own private investigator business.

This bill waives occupational license fees for those on government assistance, reducing the barrier to entry for those who want to work.

This bill allows people licensed in a profession by another state to more easily obtain a license in that same profession in Utah.

Utah's Constitution needs to protect what judges no longer do—the right to pursue a peaceful occupation of one's choosing.

The state's interest in protecting public safety is too often used as justification for regulations that exceed that limited scope.
