AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
H.B. 5 sets the base budgets for Utah's natural resources, agriculture, and environmental quality agencies for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, appropriating roughly $992 million in operating and capital funds for FY 2027 alone across departments including Agriculture and Food, Environmental Quality, Natural Resources, and the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration. The bill adjusts current-year spending, carries over unspent funds for specific purposes like Great Salt Lake restoration, wildfire suppression, water infrastructure, and invasive species control, and sets performance targets agencies must report on. Notable investments include $40 million for Great Salt Lake water rights acquisition, over $63 million for water resource projects, and $11 million annually for the Utah Wildfire Fund.
