House approves bill to change school residency rules, projected to save state millions
Summary
Representative Bradford said House Bill 102 would change residency rules for certain out‑of‑state students placed in Utah and could reduce state costs by an estimated $2–3 million; the House passed the bill 71–0 and sent it to the Senate.
Representative Bradford presented House Bill 102, a measure brought forward by the State Office of Education to modify residency requirements and funding treatment for out‑of‑state students placed in Utah by placement organizations. Bradford said the change addresses an inequity that has cost the state an estimated $2–3 million and would correct funding flows so Utah does not unfairly bear costs for students placed here from other states.
Members asked whether the bill carried a fiscal note showing those savings; the sponsor said the figure came from the State Office of Education but that the formal fiscal note had not been fully resolved with legislative staff. After questions and waived summation, the House voted 71–0 to pass HB102 and forward it to the Senate for further consideration.
