Funding formulas for Utah's technical colleges would be affected by this bill, which changes how the legislature's Higher Education Appropriations Subcommittee oversees the way state money is distributed to these schools. Currently, the subcommittee studies possible changes to enrollment-based funding models for technical colleges; under this bill, starting May 6, 2026, the subcommittee would instead be required to ensure that all non-statutory (not required by law) performance and growth funding formulas used in technical college appropriations give equal funding value to both high school-age (secondary) and adult students, and fully account for the range of services technical colleges are legally required to provide. The bill also makes minor technical and organizational updates to the list of reports the subcommittee reviews.
