UT HB0392

Attorney general receives unconditional right to intervene in any district court civil action where a party challenges the constitutionality of a statute

Attorney general, governor, or Legislature may file notice to convene a three-judge panel when a state entity or state official is a party to a civil action in district court

Three-judge panels must consist of randomly selected judges from different judicial districts, with decisions made by majority vote and appeals going directly to the Utah Supreme Court

Judicial Council must create rules for random judge selection by March 7, 2026, maintain a list of qualified judges (at least 50% from each district), and hire a coordinator and staff to assist panels

Statutory venue requirements do not apply to actions before a three-judge panel, and notices to convene panels cannot be challenged or judicially reviewed
