An amendment, DAR No. 40685, was submitted on 08/18/2016 which created a pilot program to explore using current technology and devices and how such technology and devices might be adopted. An amendment, DAR No. 41645, was submitted on 05/12/2017 to comply with S.B. 130, which was passed during the 2017 General Session, which required the program for deaf, hard of hearing, and severely speech impaired persons be funded from the Utah Universal Public Telecommunications Service Support Fund (UUSF) rather than through a separate, dedicated surcharge. No comments were received from either of these amendments.
