Utah state-government finances, comparable debt and interest figures, and the enacted budget.
The national companion measures federal finances. Here the unit is Utah state government. Federal debt is not allocated to Utah; a state budget is not the federal budget.
Explore Utah readings, major events and reviewed actions on the same date scale. Utah officeholders appear in separate lanes. National event evidence describes national context; it does not measure a Utah effect.
Major events & context · A curated selection, including uncertain effects. Milestone dates do not establish that an event caused a Utah change.
Colors show the latest recorded status. Passing one chamber is not enactment. A number groups actions with the same date, body and status.
No comparable time series is retained for this topic. The chart shows events and reviewed actions; current state comparisons appear below.
Move across the chart to inspect the nearest observation. Click or tap to keep a reading selected, or focus the chart and use the arrow keys. Hover over or focus a marker to explore; click or tap to pin. Press Escape to clear.
13 of 13 reviewed Utah actions match · 10 date markers shown. 50 major events shown separately.
The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.
Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

Utah's operating and capital budget from all sources, including expendable funds and accounts. The Legislative Fiscal Analyst removes proprietary, fiduciary, and capital-project funds and transfers among funds and accounts from the broader $37.240 billion all-appropriations authorization total.
Shares of the $13.699 billion in taxes reported as general revenue for Utah's primary government. Property tax appears only for component units in the State's Statement of Activities and is therefore excluded from this primary-government denominator.
The nine appropriations-subcommittee totals in the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's State Budget table, plus the table's $1,000 rounding difference. Together they reconcile exactly to the operating-and-capital budget headline.
Government-wide activity for Utah's primary government on the accrual basis. Revenue combines program revenue, taxes, unrestricted investment income, gains on capital-asset sales, and miscellaneous general revenue; internal transfers are excluded.

Our national debt is a national security crisis.

Inflation is a tax on working families, and it's caused by government overspending and artificial restrictions on American production. I will oppose reckless federal spending and push for a balanced budget — but the fastest way to bring prices down is to increase supply. When we unleash American energy production, reduce barriers for manufacturers, and get out of the way of farmers and small producers, we create more of everything — and more supply means lower prices across the board for every Utah family. The federal government didn't build this economy, the American worker did. My job in Congress is to make sure Washington stops making their job harder.Ayden Scott — candidate-owned primary source 3 ↗

This section matches specific budgets, government spending, deficits and public debt terms in retained, attributed source text from published Utah candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.
Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.
Explore reviewed bills sponsored by current Utah legislators and Utah’s congressional delegation, plus retained proposals from Utah’s governor and agencies. Each record keeps its latest recorded status and official evidence.

Authorizes local affordable-housing density bonuses that can include rental units, with affordability conditions and optional owner-occupancy restrictions. The provision is not an unrestricted rental-housing subsidy.
Governor Signed. The session has adjourned. This is the recorded disposition, not a determination of current enforceability.
Gross rent includes contract rent and tenant-paid utilities. Rental protections, assistance, and housing supply concern components of rental-market conditions; they do not set Utah’s median rent. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.
Retained Utah evidence context: Median gross rent. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.
authorizes a municipality or county to authorize additional housing density in exchange for certain requirements; modifies requirements for a moderate income housing plan and a moderate income housing report; requires the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget (GOPB) to develop a state housing plan by December 31, 2025;Review official supporting evidence ↗

Creates the Energy Development Infrastructure Fund to make loans to public entities to finance infrastructure development that supports nuclear power generation and transmission in the state.
Governor Signed. The session has adjourned. This is the recorded disposition, not a determination of current enforceability.
Coal share is coal generation divided by Utah in-state electric-industry net generation from EIA Table 5. Coal plants and other utility-scale generating resources concern this mix; small-scale rooftop solar is outside this denominator; procurement targets and authorizations are distinct from an operating plant or measured output. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

Governor Signed. The session has adjourned. This is the recorded disposition, not a determination of current enforceability.
Wages and cash benefits can be components of household money income. Census income is measured before taxes, so tax relief alone is not an increase in this statistic; the provision does not determine the statewide median. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

Only current Utah officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.
Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a Utah statistic. Collection reviewed Sep 6, 2026.
