HB 43 Utah House · 2025 General Session

Education Program Sunset Amendments

HB 43 extends the expiration dates for multiple Utah public education programs that were scheduled to end. It amends Utah Code Section 63I-1-253 to delay repeals for programs like the School Security Task Force (extended from 2025 to 2029), USTAR Researchers (2028), SafeUT Commission (2030), and several higher education councils and pilot programs. The bill makes technical adjustments to these sunset dates without creating new programs or appropriating funds. This affects state education initiatives and administrative bodies operating under the listed code sections.
