Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
More funding for Utah highway patrol
For July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, Highway Patrol Field Operations gets $5 million. Lawmakers intend this money to support new trooper hires. It includes $2 million from the Transportation Investment Fund of 2005 and $3 million from the motor vehicle safety account. The law also transfers $3 million from the General Fund into the safety account. Beginning July 1, 2026, lawmakers can add funding to that account and approve highway fund spending for operations, including traffic enforcement. Highway fund spending is limited to state highways built, rebuilt, or renovated with that fund.
Less funding for fire and rescue training
Utah Valley University’s Fire and Rescue Training program gets $3 million less from the state General Fund. The cut applies to the budget year from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
