You've been watching this rule for a year and a half. So has every other Utah supervisor with a pulse and a license.
R156-60e was supposed to be finalized by DOPL in January 2025. That would have given you a full two years — until January 1, 2027 — to take the required training, update your supervision contracts, and be done with it. That was the plan.
It is not what happened.
DOPL kept moving. There was a draft, then a revised draft, then an amendment. The previously promised approved-trainer list did not materialize. The AI use plan piece appeared in one version, got reworked in another, and is still being finalized as recently as this spring. The rule that was supposed to be locked-down compliance work has been moving regulatory work, and every responsible supervisor in the state has been watching it move.
You weren't avoiding it. You were waiting to see how it would settle. Wait and see is what you call it in clinical work — and it is exactly what a thoughtful clinician does with an unstable rule.
The Rule is Now Finalized
As of May 26, 2026, R156-60e is no longer moving. The amendment is final, the framework is locked, the content requirements are set, and the deadline — January 1, 2027 — has not moved. The rule you were waiting for is the one you have now.
Your answers told us you know the rule exists, you're fuzzy on the specifics, you have a vague sense that there's a long training somewhere out there, and you'd want a head start if DOPL audited you tomorrow. All of that is reasonable. None of it is your fault.
Here is the good news: most of what you think is true about the new rule is more manageable than you think. The harder news: a couple of pieces are stricter than you think, and they are the pieces most other Utah supervisor trainings still aren't covering with any depth.
