Bill > SB0151

This bill creates a new voluntary tax contribution option for Utah residents and nonresidents to support statewide hunger relief by allowing individuals to designate a contribution on their income tax return to the newly established Statewide Hunger Relief Fund. The contributions will be collected by the tax commission and then disbursed at least annually to the Utah Food Bank to fight hunger across the state. The bill modifies existing tax law to add this contribution option to the list of voluntary tax contributions, and includes a provision that if the fund generates less than $30,000 per year for three consecutive years, the tax commission must remove the contribution option from future tax returns. The new contribution will be available for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, with the bill taking effect on May 7, 2025. The tax commission is required to publish information about the fund on its website and the public legal notice website, providing transparency about the contribution option and its potential removal if funding targets are not met.
