  • State revenue: Enactment of this legislation may reduce federal funds for the Department of Health by ($224,500) ongoing beginning in FY 2027.
  • State expenditures: Enactment of this legislation may save the Department of Health and Human Services ongoing ($249,500) total funds ($13,000 General Fund) beginning in FY 2027 for no longer covering certain Medicaid services.
  • 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.
