Panels
The Better Utah Institute regularly hosts panels and forums in an effort to increase public dialogue on important issues. We invite public officials, policymakers, and other influential individuals to participate in these balanced and informative discussions.
The 2024 panel series: What's On Your Ballot will focus on two key constitutional amendments that will be on the ballot this November.
Wednesday September 18th, 2024
What’s on Your Ballot: Constitutional Amendment A
State Income Tax & Education Funding
Constitutional Amendment A asks voters if they would like to remove the earmark on state income tax that reserves its use to public education, higher education and services for children and people with disabilities. If voters approve an amendment to the Utah State Constitution lifting the earmark, state lawmakers will eliminate the state portion of the sales tax on food.
