Fiscal note

From the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's note on H.B. 127, dated January 21, 2026. A fiscal note estimates direct costs and revenue; it is not an appropriation.

  • State revenue: Enactment of this legislation likely will not materially impact state revenue.
  • State expenditures: Enactment of this bill could save the Department of Health and Human Services about $6,800 ongoing from the General Fund beginning in FY 2027 for the elimination of a community education program.
  • Local government: Enactment of this legislation likely will not result in direct, measurable costs for local governments.
  • Individuals and businesses: Enactment of this legislation likely will not result in direct expenditures from tax or fee changes for Utah residents and businesses.
