Enactment of this legislation likely will not materially impact state revenue. Enactment of this bill appropriates $907,500 one-time from the Education Fund to the Utah Education and Telehealth Network in FY 2015 to begin implementation of the Digital Teaching and Learning Program. The bill also appropriates $50,000,000 one-time and $25,000,000 ongoing from the Education Fund beginning in FY 2016. Of this amount, $50,000,000 one-time and $16,350,000 ongoing is appropriated to the State Board of Education to provide grants to LEAs, hire a private evaluator, and oversee the program as outlined in the bill. The remaining $8,650,000 ongoing is appropriated to the Utah Education and Telehealth Network to provide for infrastructure and technology support, contract with an education consultant, and to administer the program as outlined in the bill.

Encourage students to use already available resources from employment companies; tell them labor market changes quickly, so they need to continually improve their human capital. Education agencies using it to improve job prospects would shift to what's already out there. UEN requested $645,000 ongoing during the 2014GS but were appropriated $345,000 ongoing and $300,000 one-time in 2014GS SB 34. They are requesting the $300,000 one-time be made ongoing.

A presentation was given to the Executive Appropriations Committee on September 16, 2014 titled, "Report on the progress of implementing SB34" which discusses privatizing functions associated with UtahFutures. This report, issued from a group consisting of the UtahFutures stakeholders, made the following recommendation, "It is recommended that the state continue its investment in UtahFutures, re-valuate the funding requirements, and partner with stakeholders to assure that UtahFutures2.0 receives adequate resources and support to become a fully functional career and college planning tool." . "UtahFutures.org is Utah's career information system for students, job seekers, employment service providers, [and] educational institutions . . . featuring cutting-edge career planning tools, leading labor market information, job search success skills, education and training options and direct links to Utah employers and employment opportunities" [UtahFutures.org]. UtahFutures.org is provided free of charge. UtahFutures is a joint effort involving GEAR UP (a U.S. Department of Education grant program), Utah State Office of Education, Utah Higher Education Assistance Authority, Utah State Office of Rehabilitation, Department of Workforce Services, and the Utah State Library.
