Local Government UCA 36-12-13(2)(c)
Enactment of this legislation could increase revenues to Iron County for contracted prison beds if the
state enters into an agreement with the County. Annual revenues could be up to $3,755,000 if all 165
beds authorized are contracted. This estimate is based on a daily reimbursement rate to the county of
$62.35 per bed per day, which as specified in Utah Code Section 64-13e-104 is 50% of the state daily
incarceration rate of $124.70. This could shift contracted days away from other local jails or result in
overall local revenue and cost increases should additional contract beds be required.

Notes on Notes
Fiscal explanations estimate the direct costs or revenues of enacting a bill. The Legislature uses them to balance the budget. They do not
measure a bill's benefits or non-fiscal impacts like opportunity costs, wait times, or inconvenience. A fiscal explanation is not an appropriation. The
Legislature decides appropriations separately.
