Overshadowed by A and D, what about Utah's other 2024 constitutional amendments?

If Utahns vote to approve Amendment B, it would raise the current cap on annual distributions from the State School Fund, an endowment created at statehood to support public schools. In May, Utah Treasurer Marlo Oaks announced that the fund had topped $3.3 billion.

Currently, the Utah Constitution caps annual distributions out of the State School Fund at 4%. During the 2024 school year, schools received about $106 million under that distribution requirement.....

This question may be confusing to Utah voters. Aren’t sheriffs already elected officials?

Yes, they are. Utah law already requires that. But when lawmakers passed HJR10 unanimously in 2023, their aim was to simply enshrine that in the Utah Constitution to ensure sheriffs remain an elected office throughout Utah well into its future.
