Utah HB0271 modifies the multi-agency joint strike force to address metal theft and removes data on catalytic converter thefts from its annual report.

Utah HB0271 amends the multi-agency joint strike force to include metal theft in its focus areas. The joint strike force, operated by the Office of the Attorney General and the Department of Public Safety, will now target theft of items for their scrap or resale metal value. The bill also removes the requirement for the joint strike force's annual report to include data on catalytic converter thefts and arrests. The joint strike force will continue to focus on organized retail crime, intellectual property rights violations, gambling, and the purchase of stolen goods for resale.
