Bill > HB0453

This bill creates new transparency requirements for the Utah State Board of Education, mandating that beginning May 7, 2026, the board must publish detailed voting records on their website for each meeting. Specifically, the board must provide comprehensive information about each vote, including the meeting date, time, location, vote subject, names of members present and absent, individual voting results, and associated audio or video. The bill also requires the board to distribute contracts to board members at least five days before a meeting, ensure this voting information is easily accessible from their homepage with a single click, and post the required information within 7 business days after a vote. Additionally, the bill allows the Rules Review and General Oversight Committee to request reports from the state board detailing their implementation and compliance with these new transparency requirements. The bill will take effect on May 7, 2025, giving the board time to prepare for the new transparency standards.
