Fiscal note

From the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's note on H.B. 267, dated January 18, 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 likely will not materially impact state expenditures.
  • Local government: Enactment of this legislation could cost Local Education Agency School Boards $1,500 to $4,000 one-time beginning in Fiscal Year 2027 to implement and adopt compensation requirements and guidelines.
  • Individuals and businesses: Enactment of this legislation likely will not result in direct expenditures from tax or fee changes for Utah residents and businesses.
