Fiscal note

From the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's note on H.B. 532, dated February 12, 2026. A fiscal note estimates direct costs and revenue; it is not an appropriation.

  • State revenue: Public Education Economic Stabilization Restricted Account, One-time Enactment of this legislation assumes $1,186,700 one-time in the Uniform School Fund would be transferred to the Public Education Economic Stabilization Restricted Account in FY 2027, FY 2028, FY 2029 and will be used to fund the pilot program outlined in the bill, assuming availability of funding in the stabilization account.
  • State expenditures: Public Education Economic Stabilization Restricted Account, One-time Enactment of this legislation could cost the Department of Health and Human Services $90,500 ongoing from the General Fund beginning in FY 2027 for the administration of the grant program created in this bill.
  • Local government: To the extent that a Local Education Agency (LEA) chooses to participate in the pilot program, enactment of this legislation could generate an average increase of approximately $71,500 per LEA per year for three years beginning in FY 2027, to support the mental health services and activities outlined in the bill. Actual funding levels would vary based on the size and needs of each participating LEA.
  • Individuals and businesses: Enactment of this legislation likely will not result in direct expenditures from tax or fee changes for Utah residents and businesses.
