Criminal Justice Base Budget

This bill appropriates $1.29 billion for Utah's criminal justice system operations during fiscal years 2025-2026, funding existing programs through specific budget allocations. It directs funds to state agencies including the Governor's Office (for victim services and factual innocence payments), the Attorney General's Office (for criminal prosecution and children's justice centers), and the Indigent Defense Commission. The bill specifies exact dollar amounts from various funds - such as $906.8 million from the General Fund for 2026 - to support current operations without creating new policies or altering legal procedures. As a base budget measure, it does not affect individual citizens directly but ensures funding continuity for established state criminal justice functions.
