Fiscal note

From the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's note on H.B. 563, dated February 20, 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 Department of Commerce $8,900 one-time from the Commerce Service Account in FY 2027 for staff support and system updates to rework policies and processes to incorporate the new certification. The agency has indicated they can absorb this cost.
  • 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.
