Bill Summary

General Description: This bill enacts provisions related to the University of Utah School of Medicine.

AI Summary

This bill modifies the existing laws regarding the University of Utah School of Medicine by allowing the institution to enter into agreements with out-of-state entities for medical student education, which is a departure from previous restrictions. Specifically, the bill enables the University of Utah School of Medicine to create educational agreements with either another state or an out-of-state higher education institution, despite existing regulations that might have previously prohibited such arrangements. The bill also includes provisions for its effective date, which is set for May 7, 2025, with a contingency that if two-thirds of legislators in each house approve it, the bill could take effect immediately upon gubernatorial approval, without the governor's signature, or through a veto override. This legislative change appears designed to provide more flexibility for the medical school in developing collaborative educational opportunities with institutions outside of Utah.
