Fiscal note

From the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's note on H.B. 340, dated January 28, 2026. A fiscal note estimates direct costs and revenue; it is not an appropriation.

  • State revenue: Insurance Department Acct (GFR), One-time Enactment of this Legislation could decrease the year-end transfer to the General Fund from the Insurance Department Restricted Account by $11,900 one-time in FY 2026.
  • State expenditures: Insurance Department Acct (GFR), One-time Enactment of this legislation may cost the Department of Insurance $11,900 one-time from the Insurance Department Restricted Account in FY 2026 for around 140 hours of staff time to process forms from 25 insurers. The Public Employees Health Program estimates that its costs will increase $8,000 in FY 2027, of which $4,400 comes from the General/Income Tax Funds.
  • Local government: Local governments may see an increase in healthcare costs of $10,000 beginning in FY 2027.
  • Individuals and businesses: Enactment of this legislation likely will not result in direct expenditures from tax or fee changes for Utah residents and businesses.
