Bill > HB0006

This bill appropriates funds for the operation of state government for the fiscal years beginning July 1, 2025, and July 1, 2026, making adjustments to existing budgets for various criminal justice agencies. Specifically, it outlines appropriations for the Governor's Office, including the Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice (CCJJ) and the Indigent Defense Commission, as well as the Office of the Attorney General, the Board of Pardons and Parole, the Utah Department of Corrections, the Judicial Council/State Court Administrator, and the Department of Public Safety. The bill details how funds will be allocated from different sources, such as general funds, federal funds, and restricted accounts, and includes provisions for nonlapsing funds, which are funds that do not expire at the end of the fiscal year and can be carried over for specific purposes like accelerating casework, supporting local children's justice centers, or civil litigation. It also specifies certain performance measures that agencies are expected to report on for fiscal year 2027. The bill's effective date is July 1, 2026, with some provisions taking effect earlier upon the governor's approval.
