In the time since my last post, a great thing has happened! The bill has succesfully made it out of the House. Let's look at what has happened.
On 30 Jan 2019, in a very easy vote the bill passed 73-0-2.
Rep. Peterson (R-D59) presented the bill and requested support for it. He was joined in support by Rep. Derrin Owens (R-D58). Rep. Owens made the case that this bill would be revolutionary for adults returning to school after years of experience in a field.
After being transfered to the Senate, the bill was sent to the Senate Education Committee for considersation. On 2 Feb 2019, the bill was given a favorable recommendation from the committee (5-0-3)[https://le.utah.gov/mtgvotes.jsp?voteid=10570].
Now, the bill will go to the full Senate for consideration. It has been placed on the Senate's 2nd Reading Calendar.
