Technical College Amendments

HB 91 amends Utah's rules for technical colleges regarding new facility construction and capital projects. It requires technical colleges to prioritize maintaining existing facilities for students before pursuing new buildings, and mandates coordination with their partner universities (like Utah State for Bridgerland Tech or Weber State for Ogden-Weber Tech) to maximize use of current resources. The bill establishes a process where colleges must verify they've exhausted existing options and secured partner agreements before submitting funding requests for new facilities. This change affects all Utah technical colleges and their degree-granting university partners, effective May 2025.
