Utah voters will soon decide on an issue that could impact school children for years to come.
If approved, Constitutional Amendment G will expand the way the state spends income tax revenue.
Currently, income tax revenue must be used to fund public or higher education.
Amendment G would allow income tax funds to be spent for “supporting children and supporting people with a disability.”
“The main thing behind this is legislature wanted more flexibility. They wanted to use some of the education fund money for general fund purposes,” said Shawn Teigen, research director and vice president of the non-partisan Utah Foundation. “We at Utah Foundation could have written a 100-page report on that one alone.”
