HB 146 Utah House · 2026 General Session

Mentoring and Supporting Teacher Excellence and Refinement Program Amendments

HB 146 removes the word "Pilot" from Utah's Mentoring and Supporting Teacher Excellence and Refinement Program, making it a permanent program instead of a temporary initiative. The bill affects school districts and teachers participating in the program, which provides funding to support teacher leadership roles like mentoring peers and developing instructional skills outside standard pay structures. Key changes include updating program descriptions in state law to reflect its permanent status and adjusting related administrative references. No new funding is provided, as the bill only makes technical revisions to the existing program framework.

MINOR
The bill was amended to add a list of cosponsors to the header, which is a procedural change with no impact on the law's substance. The core policy text, including the removal of 'pilot' language, the $2.4 million appropriation, and the repeal dates, remains unchanged.
Scope change
No change to the scope or applicability of the program; the bill still creates a two-year initiative for teacher leadership tracks.
TECHNICAL

Added a list of cosponsors (Stephanie Gricius through Hoang Nguyen) to the bill header.

Updated the timestamp at the end of the document from March 3, 2026, to March 6, 2026.
