Bill Summary
General Description: This bill amends the definition of certain school employees to "education support professional."
AI Summary
This bill updates various sections of Utah state law to replace the term "classified school employee" with "education support professional" across multiple statutes related to education and public employment. The changes affect several key areas, including retirement systems, school personnel reporting, professional development, and employee recognition programs. Specifically, the bill modifies definitions in retirement system statutes to redefine how certain school support staff are classified for benefits and service credit, updates reporting requirements for the State Superintendent's Annual Report to use the new terminology, ensures equal access and treatment for education employee associations, and adjusts the Utah Recognizing Inspiring School Employees Award program to reflect the new term. The modifications appear to be primarily semantic, replacing an older classification term with a more contemporary descriptor for non-teaching school staff, while maintaining the substantive rights and provisions of the existing laws. The bill is set to take effect on May 7, 2025, providing ample time for school districts and state agencies to update their documentation and understand the terminology change.
