Fiscal note

From the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's note on H.B. 196, dated January 17, 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 legislation could cost the Department of Transportation $86,100 one-time from the General Fund in FY 2027 to procure and install 160 new street corner signs and 26 mast arm signs on 900 South in Salt Lake City.
  • 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.
