Bill > HB0406

This bill makes several technical amendments to Utah state law, primarily focusing on updating repeal dates for various government commissions, committees, and programs, and establishing a new annual reporting requirement for the Department of Health and Human Services. Specifically, the bill extends or sets repeal dates for numerous state entities and initiatives across different titles of Utah code, ranging from July 1, 2024 to July 1, 2032. The most substantive new provision requires the Department of Health and Human Services to submit an annual report to the Executive Appropriations Committee beginning in 2025, detailing funding for wages and benefits of department contractors. This report must include projections of necessary funding increases based on the Chained Consumer Price Index, a comparison of wage and benefit funding over the past decade, and an evaluation of the sufficiency of current funding for retaining and recruiting staff. The bill is set to take effect on May 7, 2025, and provides definitions for key terms like "department" and "department contractor" to clarify the scope of the new reporting requirements.
