Utah lawmakers are optimistic a deal will be reached soon ahead of a proposed constitutional amendment that would tweak the earmark for education on the income tax.
In a brief interview with FOX 13 News following his speech at the Utah Taxpayers Association's annual conference on Monday, House Speaker Brad Wilson indicated progress is being made in negotiations between the legislature and the Utah Education Association, the state's largest teachers union.
Lawmakers did get some support from education groups at the end of the 2023 legislative session and they passed a bill to put the proposed amendment before voters in 2024. The Utah Education Association has so far remained non-committal, but Speaker Wilson's comments on Monday suggested things might be moving.
"Those conversations are ongoing and we are trying to build some consensus with the UEA and other education stakeholders," said Sen. Dan McCay, R-Riverton, who chairs the Senate Revenue & Taxation Committee.
