Utah HB0142 amends school fee waiver policies, defining terms and limiting waivers.

Utah HB0142 amends school fee waiver policies by defining terms such as "trip" and "action plan." It limits the number of fee waivers a student may receive to no more than two trips per year and requires local education agencies to establish a cap on total fee waivers. The bill allows a student to request a fee waiver for a second trip, provided they meet with the principal and develop an action plan. It also mandates that schools provide a written decision and appeal procedure if a fee waiver request is denied. The bill makes technical and conforming changes to existing law.
