Fiscal note

From the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's note on H.B. 605, dated March 3, 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 bill could cost the Department of Public Safety about $10,500 one-time in FY 2026 and $143,500 ongoing in FY 2027 from the General Fund for documentation requirements where officers may testify in criminal cases as outlined in the bill.
  • Local government: This could cost local law enforcement agencies an unknown amount for documentation requirements where officers may testify in criminal cases as outlined in the bill.
  • Individuals and businesses: Enactment of this legislation likely will not result in direct expenditures from tax or fee changes for Utah residents and businesses.
