School Board Election Amendments

Summary

The bill makes membership on Utah’s State Board of Education a nonpartisan office, removes the current partisan label, and sets new rules for filling vacancies and for future elections. Starting with the 2028 election cycle, candidates must first run in a nonpartisan primary before a nonpartisan general election. The governor, with Senate approval, will appoint any qualified person to fill a vacant board seat.
