S.B. 203 ✗ Bad Bill Access to Justice

Judicial Standing Amendments

Sets requirements for plaintiffs to bring a "private right of action" in Utah, in other words, defining judicial standing; requires individuals to meet the "traditional standing requirement;" if a plaintiff is asserting the constitutional rights of a third party, requires the plaintiff to establish they have a substantial relationship with the third party, there is no way for the third party to bring their own suit, and that the third party's constitutional rights would be weakened without the suit; if a plaintiff is an association bringing suit on behalf of any of its members, requires the association to plead with particularity that those members of the association meet the "traditional standing requirements," that the members consent to the association bringing the action, and that the participation of the members is not necessary to the resolution of the action
