Fiscal note

From the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's note on H.J.R. 11, dated January 16, 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 DHHS $13,600 one-time in FY2027 from the General Fund for overhead and personnel services to produce a report. DHHS indicates they can absorb $2,300 of the personnel services expenses.
  • 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.
