Civics education bill SB 23 adopted as committee substitute; lawmakers ask districts for implementation details Sen. Gary Stevens’ SB 23, which would codify civics resources and create a new high‑school civics requirement (course, test, or project), had its committee substitute adopted April 1. Committee members asked for district cost and proctoring information and held the bill for a future hearing with district representatives.

Committee holds civics bill to coordinate implementation after substitution delays rollout Representative Ivory's HB312 would require 'spiraling' civics instruction across grades; the sponsor pushed the effective date to 2028–29 to let the Utah State Board of Education and partners return with an implementation plan.
