Fiscal note

From the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's note on H.B. 461, dated February 5, 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 could cost the Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity $12,500 ongoing beginning in FY 2027 from the General Fund for personnel services to carry out data management and coordination and $25,000 one-time in FY 2026 from the General Fund to contract with DTS for development of a reporting webpage.
  • Local government: Enactment of this legislation may cost political subdivisions $1,700 per project area ongoing beginning in FY 2027 to comply with increased reporting requirements.
  • Individuals and businesses: Enactment of this legislation likely will not result in direct expenditures from tax or fee changes for Utah residents and businesses.
