Utah

Child entrepreneurs who open a lemonade stand, wash cars, or operate other occasional businesses now have another hurdle removed.
With the passage of SB 29 this legislative session, Utah’s “Truth-in-Taxation” law (first enacted in 1985) just got an upgrade. The bill, sponsored by Senator Chris Wilson, will help keep Utah residents informed when their local governments are proposing a property tax increase.
Utah farmers rejoice! With the passage of HB 31, sponsored by Representative Carl Albrecht, agritourism activities are now more viable.
By removing these barriers, Utah can continue to grow its thriving and diverse learning environment. Teachers and parents are now free to create the education that works best for their children. 
Senate Bill 44 from Senator Fillmore combines the Carson Smith and Special Needs Opportunity Scholarships into one program, eliminating the bureaucracy and thus making access to the program easier for families. 
This expansion is exciting, and we are looking forward to how the legislature further expands the scholarship in the future.
