Utah HB0577 establishes a state-law remedy for federal constitutional violations by individuals acting under federal, state, or local law.

Utah HB0577 creates a legal pathway for citizens or individuals within the state's jurisdiction to seek remedies for federal constitutional violations committed by individuals acting under federal, state, or local law. The bill allows for compensatory damages, equitable relief, and reasonable attorney fees and costs, but not punitive damages. It abrogates any immunities available to the violators unless required by the U.S. Constitution. This remedy is in addition to any other available under state or federal law, and it does not require exhausting administrative remedies before filing suit.
