Higher Education Modifications

SB 287 allows the University of Utah School of Medicine to enter agreements with out-of-state states or higher education institutions to teach medical students from outside Utah. This bill directly affects the University of Utah School of Medicine and potential out-of-state partners by modifying existing rules that previously restricted such partnerships. The key provision enacts a new Utah Code section (53B-17-904) specifically permitting these agreements, overriding prior limitations. The bill takes effect on May 7, 2025, unless overridden by legislative action.
