Fiscal note

From the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's note on H.B. 201, dated January 20, 2026. A fiscal note estimates direct costs and revenue; it is not an appropriation.

  • State revenue: Enactment of this Legislation could increase revenue to the Utah Energy Research Fund by up to $30,015,000 one-time in FY 207 from collecting a new radioactive waste facility expansion tax. This increase would be offset by a decrease in revenue in FY 2026.
  • State expenditures: Environmental Quality (GFR), One-time This Legislation could cost the Department of Environmental Quality $46,800 one-time in FY 2026 and $320,900 one-time in FY 2027 from the Environmental Quality Restricted Account to license a new or expanded radioactive waste facility. The department has indicated it can absorb this cost.
  • Local government: Enactment of this legislation likely will not result in direct, measurable costs for local governments.
  • Individuals and businesses: Enactment of this legislation could increase tax liability for radioactive waste facilities that receive a license for increased disposal volume by up to $30,015,000 one-time in FY 2027. This increase would be offset by a decrease in liability in FY 2026.
