Fiscal note

From the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's note on S.B. 306, dated February 23, 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 likely will not materially impact state expenditures.
  • Local government: Enactment of this legislation could cost a withdrawing entity (county or municipality) an unknown amount of personnel costs that can be absorbed to provide public notice, conduct a hearing, adopt a final resolution, and establish a new service fund as legislative bodies have different configurations and the frequency of withdrawals from a qualified district is unclear.
  • Individuals and businesses: Enactment of this legislation likely will not result in direct expenditures from tax or fee changes for Utah residents and businesses.
