Fiscal note

From the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's note on H.B. 586, dated February 21, 2026. A fiscal note estimates direct costs and revenue; it is not an appropriation.

  • State revenue: Enactment of this legislation creates a new state sales tax earmark to the Transit Transportation Investment Fund (TTIF) equal to 10% of the growth in state sales tax revenues deposited into the General Fund subject to a cap. Enactment of this bill does not impact overall state tax revenues but shifts the allocation between funds.
  • State expenditures: Enactment of this legislation could cost the Tax Commission $3,900 one-time from the General Fund in FY 2027 for system updates.
  • 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.
