Utah's state budget for criminal justice agencies would be set for the upcoming year under this bill, which appropriates roughly $1.35 billion for fiscal year 2027 to fund the Department of Corrections, Department of Public Safety, the state court system, the Attorney General's office, the Board of Pardons and Parole, the Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice, and related offices. This funding covers prison operations, probation and parole supervision, re-entry and treatment programs, law enforcement training, emergency management, victim services, indigent defense, and court operations, along with setting hourly billing rates for Attorney General's office legal services. The bill also makes adjustments to the current fiscal year 2026 budget, shifting money between programs and allowing certain unspent funds to carry forward for specific purposes such as inmate treatment, equipment, and technology upgrades. Most provisions take effect July 1, 2026, though a few budget actions take effect earlier upon approval.
