Utah Web Site to be English With Few Exceptions

Health, public safety, tourism OK

Utah Governor Jon Huntsman last week approved the following policy regarding publishing information on the Utah.gov Web site in languages other than English:

In compliance with Utah Code 63-13-1.5, information published on Utah's Official Web site will appear only in English with the following exceptions as outlined in the law:
  • Information necessary to promote health and public safety issues
  • Information pertaining to tourism and economic development
  • Information regarding the teaching of English as a second language
  • Information that, under federal law, must be made available in languages other than English.
Utah.gov links are being updated to comply with Utah law.

"It is important for us to exercise due diligence in adhering to the law and we have done that with this issue," said Mike Mower, the governor's spokesman. "We are comfortable with the information we are publishing now that a thorough legal review has been completed."
