AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.
Utah currently sets aside a fixed share of state sales tax revenue—26.24% of certain sales tax collections—for the Transportation Investment Fund of 2005, which pays for road and highway construction projects. This bill would reduce that automatic set-aside to 19.24%, meaning the remaining 7% of that sales tax revenue would instead stay in the state's General Fund, where lawmakers could direct it toward any purpose through the regular annual budget process rather than having it committed automatically to transportation projects. The change would take effect July 1, 2026.
