Utah Code § 26B-6-808: Emergency -- Medical necessity.

If an emergency situation exists that prevents compliance with Section 26B-6-806 or 26B-6-807 because of medical necessity, if delay in performing the sterilization could result in serious physical injury or death to the person, the attending physician shall certify, in writing, the specific medical reasons that necessitated suspension of those requirements. That certified statement shall become a permanent part of the sterilized person's medical record.
