FY2027 funding for state buildings

The law gives $72,507,300 from the Permanent Building Fund to Public Works for FY2027 (July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027). Money goes to: Alteration and repair $31,422,500; Building maintenance $34,028,700; ADA compliance $4,666,000; Facilities maintenance $1,500,000; and Mil Bonneville County Readiness Center design $890,100. The act takes effect July 1, 2026.

Stronger oversight and reclaim idle funds

Public Works must report to lawmakers by November 15, 2026 on project status, costs, delays, and unspent balances. Projects with no construction within four years become available for new appropriation, with recommendations in the November 2026 budget submission. Unspent balances from completed capital projects, and alteration/repair or facilities maintenance funds left five years after appropriation, are also available for new use after the council identifies them.

Faster starts and flexible project funding

The Permanent Building Fund Advisory Council can count on expected revenues and set project order, so work can start sooner. Public Works can use state dollars to match federal or private money, with council approval each time. If a project spends less than budgeted, savings can be moved to another funded project, with council approval first.
