  1. Committee chair (presiding)31:03

     Uh, Representative Romero.

  2. Rep. Angela Romero31:05

     Thank you, Mr. Chair. And I just wanna let the committee know, I have a legislative audit committee, and so that starts out for, so I appreciate you hearing my bill ahead of schedule. This is a pretty simple bill. It's very straightforward. HB three 10. It extends the timeline for developing a reintegration plan. Um, right now it's at five. We're just asking that timeline to move to seven. It provides additional time during summer months for developing the reintegration plan, and that's due to the fact that it's summer. People go on vacation, some people are on contract. So just making sure we have that timeframe and it allows the school the flexibility to tailor that re-integration plan component based on student need and, and risk level. And that's the gist of the bill.

  3. Committee chair (presiding)31:49

     Alright, thank you, uh, to the committee for questions. Alright, I've got a couple of questions here. All right. Representative Peck.

  4. Rep. Nicholeen P. Peck32:00

     Thank you, Mr. Chair. I noticed that in the bill that it says that there is a checkoff list that is normally used for reintegration and that in this case, they wouldn't be using the checkoff list. What on the checkoff list? Well, first off, what is on the checkoff list and what on the checkoff list is not working? Those are my two

  5. Committee chair (presiding)32:21

     Questions. Well, I'm gonna ask for a lifeline and have, um, a member from Granite School District address that for you. Okay. Thank you. Welcome. Please, uh, introduce yourself.

  6. Ben Horsley, Superintendent, Granite School District32:32

     Thank you, Mr. Chair. And make sure you sign in. Is that working now? There? Uh, thank you, Mr. Chair. My name is Ben Horsley. I'm superintendent for Grant School District. Um, we introduced the notions of reintegration plans after we had a student, uh, who had committed a crime in a community, um, be forced back into the school environment, a traditional environment, um, and then shoot a gun on school property. And so the idea is that if a student commits a violent crime, um, or is under suspicion, uh, a reintegration plan is required in order to including this checklist that you've mentioned, um, before we can actually bring them back into a traditional environment. So that might, uh, the reintegration plan might require us to place them in an alternative environment. Uh, we still wanna provide services to the student, uh, while an investigation ensues,

  7. Rep. Nicholeen P. Peck33:21

     but at the same time, I'm not seeing that language here. Could you point out, uh, where the checklist would no longer be used? Well, if you're going to tailor fit it, right, if you're gonna say like, well, we're just gonna kind of like, see what we need to do, then that would suggest to me that we're not going by the checklist. So that's why I'm asking.

  8. Ben Horsley, Superintendent, Granite School District33:38

     Yeah. I don't believe that's the intent of the legislation, and I don't believe it does that. The idea is that we would always want to create a plan that's tailored to the needs of, of the student and the broader safety of the commun the school community itself. Um, for sure, the idea of rein reintegration is to make sure that we're keeping our student bodies safe from, um, students who might be a threat. Right? And so, uh, that, that checklist includes following CST a protocols, uh, doing, conducting those threat assessments and doing some of those other pieces that is in another section of code and is not altered by this. So we would still be required to adhere to that.

  9. Rep. Nicholeen P. Peck34:12

     Okay. I'm just a little bit concerned that it's gonna counter that. Sure. And I think I'd feel a little bit better if it was like, like follow the checklist and, you know, make sure that we get the checklist in there. Mr. Chair, could I have our staff, um, address that issue, uh, with the, the representative's concern? 'cause I don't, I don't, I guess I wanna make sure it, it's a concern. Did you hear the concern or would you like it repeated? I, I

  10. Committee chair (presiding)34:37

      Did not hear the Concern. All right. Go ahead and, uh, go ahead and, uh, ask your question again, Representative.

  11. Rep. Nicholeen P. Peck34:42

      And I'll turn my, I'll turn on, uh, our, our policy analysts, uh, microphone here. Okay, sure. So, as far as reintegration goes, when there's been a situation like this, which I'm completely understandable of this situation, when there's been a situation like this, there's a, a protocol, like a checklist that they need to go through. And this bill is saying that you would tailor fit a reintegration plan for someone just based upon that person. But I would not want that to eliminate the need to still go through the checklist and consult the checklist. Does that make sense?

  12. Committee chair (presiding)35:18speaker not certain

      Okay. My understanding is the bill doesn't do that, but I wanna make sure that staff can address that. And that certainly wasn't our intent.

  13. Fin Rose, Managing Policy Analyst, Legislative Research35:30

      Fin Rose, managing policy analyst with legislative research, let me reach out to the drafting attorney. Um, I did not work on the policy on this bill, so I can't, so the language she's referencing is, uh, 50 line 55 create a unique reintegration plan. I, I believe we want to do that. Every one of these plans is very unique. It doesn't, uh, disqualify us from having to follow the other portion of section of code that includes the checklist for the safety of our students. Um, getting messages from Jeff Van Holden, who was the drafter. He's saying that that is correct, that the language does not do that.

  14. Rep. Nicholeen P. Peck36:07

      Okay. Thank you.

  15. Committee chair (presiding)36:09

      All right. Thank you, Representative Peck. Appreciate that clarification. Thank you, uh, to our drafting attorney, Jeff Holton for calling in. All right. We'll go to Representative MacPherson.

  16. Rep. Matt MacPherson36:22

      Thank you, Mr. Chair. And, and I apologize. My question is actually very, very similar because I do wanna walk through that exact section there on starting at line 45 through 56, because it states that the school district may de deny admission to a student until the school completes the reintegration plan under the subsection two. And that the reintegration plan under subsection two shall address. And then it lists these items, a behavioral intervention for the student, a short-term mental health or counseling service for the student, an academic intervention for the student. And if the serious offense was directed to school, employer or another student within the school notification of the reintegration plan that the school employer or student and the student's parent, now that is the checklist, that's the required they shall. But then below that, and B, it says, notwithstanding for a, the school district may and step one, add additional interventions, which seems appropriate. But then step two is create a unique reintegration plan to meet with the individual. And that seems to indicate under the plain language here, that that would in fact not have the requirements of section A. So I, I am just curious if I, I know the intent and so I'm just curious if that's exactly how I'm reading it, if that's the way it's, it's working. 'cause it does say, or Thank you for that chair, or Thank you for that question. Is that a question or is that a comment? It is a question if, if this is the intent or if this is, maybe I'm misunderstanding the, the way it's written.

  17. Committee chair (presiding)38:02

      Okay. Um, I understand our policy a**l, or sorry, our, uh, drafting attorney is gonna answer in just a moment. Is he going to jump online or is he going to answer to you? He's Gonna answer to me and then I'll All right. So, um, I will Hold, we, we expect to have an answer momentarily. Thank you, Representative MacPherson. Um, I don't have any other questions, so we're gonna wait for him to type quickly. Okay.

  18. Rep. Angela Romero38:28

      Could I speak to that, Mr. Chair?

  19. Committee chair (presiding)38:29

      You'd be more, you're more than welcome

  20. Rep. Angela Romero38:31

      To. I think it's a, a appropriate question, and I wanna be clear that the intent of legislation not to do that. I would point out that in section four eight it says, shall address that, it has to be addressed. Those items shall be addressed. Whereas in four B two it says, uh, may, uh, may create a unique reintegration plan. I think in the education environment, we know that our kids are not on, uh, you know, uh, they're all different. They're all unique and they all have unique circumstances and needs. And the idea and the intent of that verbiage is simply to create a, each of these situations are dynamic. And we would wanna have the ability above and beyond that checklist to create a unique plan specific to each of those children's needs, Which doesn't bypass the checklist that you two are referring to. And I think my concern comes with the word notwithstanding, notwithstanding subsection four A.

  21. Committee chair (presiding)39:30

      Alright, very good. Are we still waiting? He's typing. We're getting a we're getting a lengthy, we're getting a lengthy message coming imminently. All right. Go, go ahead. Go ahead, Finn.

  22. Fin Rose, Managing Policy Analyst, Legislative Research39:43

      Uh, Jeff says that we can make an amendment to clarify the intent. Um, basically say that be double I needs for a, in order to Work. So

  23. Rep. Matt MacPherson39:56

      Thank you. And I think that's all I was just looking at was, 'cause it sounds like the intention is there. I just wanted to make sure the language is matching the policy intent. Thanks. I take that as a friendly amendment when that amendment's drafted.

  24. Committee chair (presiding)40:10

      Okay. Well, we've, uh, we, we appreciate that and I think that they'll get working on that immediately. So thank you. Um, any other questions from the committee? Uh, back to you, Representative Peck, I think. Oh,

  25. Rep. Nicholeen P. Peck40:25

      Thank you. I, I think I'm pretty good here. I just realized that, um, that we, it would be nice to hear like what one of these unique plans might entail, but I don't know if we have time for that or not. I thought we were going to, 'cause we were waiting for the draft. I, I'd recommend you get with the sponsor afterwards. And, uh, if you want to, and you can, uh, do some additional, provide some additional questions there.

  26. Committee chair (presiding)40:49

      All right. See no further questions. We'll go to the public for public comment. Is there any, are there any here to speak to this item? All right, thank you. As you come up, uh, make sure you sign in and please state your name and, uh, who you represent, if any.

  27. Susan Edwards, Canyons School District41:02

      Thank you Chair. Uh, Susan Edwards with School District. We appreciate the reintegration work, uh, that the good representative has done. Um, and we do support this. However, I will say that on the Senate side, there is, uh, Senate Bill 1 67 and the dates, uh, five days, the reintegration time, the five, seven or 10 days has been negotiated over there. So just ask that maybe, uh, the two bills will collaborate to get the same date so that we don't end up with, uh, competing dates in the legislation.

  28. Committee chair (presiding)41:32

      Alright. Thank you for that feedback. Appreciate that very much. Are there any others here to speak to the bill? Um, online. Alright, uh, that concludes our public comment. Uh, we'll now move to the Committee for action. Thank you. Yeah. Alright. Uh, Representative Moss, What? Oh, is that correct? Yes. Okay, go ahead. That she said something. I

  29. Rep. Carol S. Moss41:59

      Was, I'm saying amendment. Uh, okay, go ahead. Uh, is it time to make a motion to It is time to make a motion and I do think that we are working on an amendment that is not quite ready, but I think they're working on it as quickly as they can. Can I always add that amendment on the floor as well? I think he's gonna have it here shortly. I think I'd prefer to do that, uh, than make the amendment on the floor if we can get that clarified. So what I'm, I was gonna make a motion to pass the bill through. Is that appropriate? Now that amendment, I know we need the amendment, but she, It should be here. We're just waiting then. Okay.

  30. Committee chair (presiding)42:35

  Transcript (18 turns)

  1. Rep. Angela Romero2:03:19

     Representative Romero HB three 10 School reintegration plan amendments. I notice you do have a substitute online. Do you want us to move that substitute? Yes, I wanna move the substitute and I'll speak to the substitute. I hit my microphone's on, so, Okay. Go, go

  2. Sen. David P. Hinkins2:03:37

     Ahead. I would like to delete title and Body House bill three 10 and replace it with first substitute house bill three 10. Okay. So the motion is to delete and title the body, uh, first sub, uh, HB three 10, and replace it with first substitute HB three 10.

  3. Committee chair2:03:53

     Any discussion of the motion? Seeing none. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Uh, chair rules. That is unanimous. Now to the

  4. Rep. Angela Romero2:04:01

     Thank you Mr. Chair. And I, I think Superintendent Horsley's on online too. Well, who will help co present. And the reason why we did the substitute, Senator McKay and I have a similar bill, so we wanted to make sure we were matching language of our bills so it didn't cause problems later on. So basically, um, what this bill does is it's just helps with a reintegration plan. So it changes from five days to seven days. It gives more flexibility during the summer months, and it helps our different school districts work with that individual student when they're reintegrating them. And then I'll turn the rest of my time over to the superintendent.

  5. Ben Horsley, Superintendent, Granite School District2:04:36

     Adding Thank you representative. And thank you, Mr. Chair. Is it all right if I, can you hear me okay? Yes. Thank you, sir. I just wanna remind this committee that this is my favorite committee. It's so much better than the House Education Committee, and I only say that 'cause I see Representative Welton behind, uh, Representative Romero. So a huge shout out for the good work I've been listening to, uh, this group. Um, this bill is really simple. Uh,

  6. Committee chair2:05:02

     Hey, hey. Could you just start with you stating your name for the record and tell us who you're representing today?

  7. Ben Horsley, Superintendent, Granite School District2:05:09

     Uh, superintendent Ben Horsley with Granite School District. And, uh, thank you again to the sponsor on this bill. She is correct. The, the substitute just simply mirrors language that's already been placed in 1 67. These two ideas, uh, 1 67 is a a lot more comprehensive approach on some modifications to reintegration plans. This one is simply intending to extend the time for reintegration for the school to conduct the reintegration from five to seven school days. Um, this would allow us a little bit more time to be able to bring together the parole officer, uh, the court system, make sure all the notifications have been done and completed in a timely manner, um, so that we're not rushing a process where the potential safety of our students is involved. So, uh, that is the essence of the bill. It's just intended to, uh, enact that, that timeline and extend it to additional school days.

  8. Committee chair2:06:04

     Okay. Thank you. Does that complete your presentation? Yeah, that

  9. Ben Horsley, Superintendent, Granite School District2:06:08
