UT SB0142

Human services programs are generally prohibited from simultaneously providing private probation services and other compensated services (such as mental health therapy, education, or rehabilitation) to the same defendant

An exception allows dual services when no other human services program offering the needed services is located within 50 miles of the defendant's residence and the defendant provides written informed consent

Written informed consent must include separate paragraphs describing additional services, how to withdraw consent, grievance procedures for filing complaints with the division, and disclosure of potential conflicts of interest

The division must revoke the license of any private probation provider who violates the prohibition on providing simultaneous services
