New funding account for Utah prisons
The law creates the Corrections Facility Expansion Restricted Account within Utah’s General Fund. The Legislature can use this money only to expand or build facilities operated by Utah’s Department of Corrections. The account receives portions of funding from new laws for state correctional facility capital costs. Starting in a law’s second fiscal year, it also receives one-time savings from delayed estimated costs of prison population increases. Account earnings and additional legislative funding also go into the account. The law sets no dollar amount and provides no direct appropriation. The default effective date is May 6, 2026. Approval by two-thirds of all elected members in each legislative house allows an earlier start: upon the governor’s approval, the day after the constitutional signing deadline without a signature, or the date of a veto override.
