SB 131 (Residential Vocational and Life Skills Programs Amendments)

Libertas Institute supports this bill.

This bill exempts institutions such as The Other Side Academy from existing regulations that apply to other types of organizations helping rehabilitate those in need. The Academy is a non-profit with a unique model that does not work if existing regulations were to be enforced upon them.

Libertas Institute supports this bill. The Academy follows an innovative approach taken by a similar organization in California that has successfully rehabilitated drug addicts and criminals without any taxpayer support. Utah law should exempt this organization from regulation to let it flourish.
