Extractions: Utah has a history of legislative support for technology-advancing initiatives. As a result it has a sophisticated public-private network that is expanding daily. There are also plans to institute telecommuting for some state workers. The 1994 legislative session created the Information Technology Commission, a 19-member commission that reviews the state's technology expenditures, objectives, and funding. 1995 Utah SB 82 made Utah the first state to pass legislation establishing protocol for the use of digital signatures to electronically file court documents. Until then the need for signature verification blocked courts from accepting legal documents filed by computer and modem. Similar legislation is being considered in California, Florida, Oregon, and Washington. The technology for secure, forgery-resistant digitized signatures appears sufficiently developed that its use is likely to become common nationwide within the next two years. 1995 Utah HB 364 enacted the Utah Telecommunications Reform Act

On the last day of the session, lawmakers approved a bill that will modestly raise the charter school cap and will also provide $1.5 million for a revolving facilities loan fund. The bill raises the number of charters that the state board can approve from 16 to 24 in 2003-04 with an additional eight in each subsequent year.

This multi-year reform effort, sponsored by the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development and the First Amendment Center, is designed to transform how schools model and teach the rights and responsibilities of the First Amendment, and help students become active and engaged citizens. The schools were chosen from a national grant competition and include only three middle schools of which Center City is one. CER Newswire, May 7, 2002
