This bill:
AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Starting with the 2026–27 school year, every Utah school district and charter school must ensure that all 10th grade students receive information covering a broad set of legal rights and responsibilities that kick in when a person turns 18 — including voting and voter registration, jury duty, selective service registration, contracts, taxes, employment rights, healthcare decision-making, credit and debt, interactions with law enforcement, and the adult criminal justice system. Schools have flexibility in how they deliver this information, whether through existing classes, assemblies, handouts, or digital resources, and are not required to create a new course or test students on the material.
