Fiscal note

From the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's note on H.B. 316, dated January 26, 2026. A fiscal note estimates direct costs and revenue; it is not an appropriation.

  • State revenue: Enactment of this legislation could decrease the year-end transfer from the Commerce Service Account to the General Fund by $3,300 ongoing beginning in FY 2027 due to the expenditures listed below.
  • State expenditures: Enactment of this legislation could increase cost to the Department of Commerce by $3,300 ongoing from the Commerce Service Account beginning in FY 2027 for staff support due to the increased oversight needed for administering nondisclosure notices.
  • 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.
