Fiscal note

From the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's note on H.B. 598, dated February 26, 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 Health and Human Services $119,100 ongoing General Fund and $37,500 one-time General Fund in FY 2027 and FY 2028. These would cover staffing costs for gathering data and generating reports. Additionally, it would cover pass through funds for research purposes.
  • 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.
