AI-generated summary, reviewed by Better Utah staff.
Utah taxpayers who file a state income tax return can choose to donate a portion of their refund to a new School Meals Debt Relief Fund, which would then be distributed by the State Board of Education to school districts based on how much unpaid meal debt each district is carrying. School districts are required to report their outstanding meal debt annually, and any funds they receive must be used exclusively to pay off that debt within 60 days or be returned for redistribution to other districts.
