Utah HB0397 mandates livestreaming of public court proceedings and requires audiovisual recordings of these livestreams to be made available on court.
Utah HB0397 requires the Administrative Office of the Courts to livestream public court proceedings and create audiovisual recordings of these livestreams. These recordings must be posted on court websites and made freely available to the public. Exceptions apply if the court excludes the public, or if livestreaming risks prejudicing a party's right to a fair trial, compromising a victim's rights, or jeopardizing safety or privacy. Courts can suspend or terminate livestreams if necessary and must take steps to prevent unauthorized transmissions during proceedings.
