Social Services Base Budget

SB 7 is a funding bill that allocates $180.6 million for Utah's fiscal year 2025 and $8.37 billion for fiscal year 2026 to support state government operations, primarily funding the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and other agencies. It provides specific funding for DHHS programs like clinical services, health care administration, and oversight, including $1.9 million for Primary Care and Rural Health. The bill uses multiple funding sources, including $82.7 million from the General Fund for 2025 and $1.5 billion from the General Fund for 2026. This bill does not create new policies but allocates existing budget resources for essential social services and agency operations.
