Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Longer State Funding Protection for Utah Schools

Beginning July 1, 2026, qualifying Utah school districts get two years of state funding protection, up from one year. State-guaranteed levy funding cannot fall solely because property value changes cause a certified property tax rate reduction. Districts must reduce their voted, board, and capital levy rates proportionally. Protection does not apply if districts shift tax rate capacity from voted or board levies to the capital levy.

Excess State Funding Ends for Utah Schools

The law takes effect July 1, 2026, and phases out excess state-guaranteed levy funding for qualifying Utah school districts. Excess means fiscal year 2025 payments above what the district qualified for using only its 2025 certified tax rate. Districts receive 100% of that excess in fiscal year 2026, 66% in 2027, and 33% in 2028. No excess funds are paid in fiscal year 2029 or later. The State Board of Education calculates the excess, notifies districts, and oversees the phase-out.
