This bill would adjust Utah's state budget for the 2027 fiscal year (July 2026 through June 2027) by increasing or decreasing funding across dozens of state agencies, courts, and public colleges and universities, totaling more than $1.5 billion in changes across various state funds and accounts. Areas affected include criminal justice agencies like the Department of Corrections and courts, economic development programs, homeless services, workforce and unemployment programs, higher education institutions, and general government operations, with specific dollar amounts added or subtracted from individual programs within each agency. The bill also directs specific grants to numerous organizations—such as universities, nonprofits, and local governments—for purposes ranging from workforce training and tourism promotion to homeless shelter operations and arts programs, and it sets performance measures that agencies and colleges must report on for the year. If passed, these funding changes and reporting requirements would take effect on a special date tied to the start of the new fiscal year.
