Fiscal note

From the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's note on H.B. 580, dated February 20, 2026. A fiscal note estimates direct costs and revenue; it is not an appropriation.

  • State revenue: Enactment of this legislation could increase Dedicated Credits revenues to the Department of Health and Human Services by $15,700 per facility.
  • State expenditures: Enactment of this legislation could cost the Department of Health and Human Services $1,500 one-time from the General Fund in FY 2026 for costs related to developing the rules required in the bill.
  • Local government: Enactment of this legislation likely will not result in direct, measurable costs for local governments.
  • Individuals and businesses: Qualifying facilities could need to pay $15,700 for licensing fees to the Department of Health and Human Services.
