School Fee Amendments
HB 121 clarifies which courses schools cannot charge fees for by updating definitions in Utah law. It specifically adds "science" to the list of core subjects (alongside English, health, math, and social studies) where fees are prohibited for courses that grant credit or a grade. This directly affects secondary schools (grades 7-12) and students enrolled in these required science courses, ensuring schools cannot require fees for them. The bill makes a technical correction to existing definitions without introducing new requirements or costs.
