Fiscal Highlights - May 2016
2016 Second Special Session Public Education Appropriations -
Jill L.Curry ( PDF)Following the 2016 General Session, Governor Herbert vetoed Item 6 in Senate Bill (S.B.) 2, Public Education Budget Amendments, which removed appropriations for several programs and restored the appropriation for one program in the Utah State Office of Education - Initiatives Programs line item. The Legislature and Governor's office agreed to convene a Special Session to address the vetoed education funding items. The Special Session was held on May 18th and during the session the Legislature passed S.B. 2001, Public Education Appropriation Restorations, which restored the budget increases and decreases and the intent language originally passed in S.B. 2, Item 6. In total S.B. 2001 appropriated just under $1 million ongoing and about $3.8 million one-time from the Education Fund as detailed in the table below. It also restored intent language which authorizes the use of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds for UPSTART Early Childhood Education and includes reporting requirements on the use of these funds by the Department of Workforce Services (DWS) to the Office of the Legislative Fiscal Analyst this fall.  |
