Utah law currently charges radioactive waste facilities a tax of $3.45 per cubic yard of new disposal capacity, up to 8,700,000 cubic yards, when they apply to expand, but that tax is set to expire for applications submitted after December 31, 2025. This bill would extend the tax by one year, applying it to expansion applications submitted through December 31, 2026, and would push back the date the entire tax provision is repealed from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2027. Revenue collected from this tax continues to be deposited into the state's Electrical Energy Development Investment Fund.
