Utah PTA Resolution: 
Impact on Children: 

This bill reduces the income tax rate, and makes it variable from year to year. Reducing the rate lowers the amount of available funding for our K-12 schools. Making the rate variable is also problematic as it brings an additional element of uncertainty to school funding.
