Utah adoption agencies shut down by regulators could face more scrutiny if they try to reopen

The proposal comes after a Salt Lake Tribune report on a woman who received a new license five years after her former agency was shut down due to “repeated and chronic” state law violations.

(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Sen. Chris H. Wilson listens to Senate committee meeting discussion on Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2023. Under a bill Wilson is sponsoring, state licensors could get more discretion when deciding whether to issue new licenses to adoption agency owners who have previously had their licenses revoked.
