15% Budget Cut Impacts

Utah State Legislature is currently considering budget cuts to Human Services as a result of the economic downturn. On Monday, January 12, our appropriations subcommittee announced their recommendations for a 15% or $44 million cut in the FY 2010 base budget of Human Services. In December, Governor Huntsman announced a plan for a cut slightly below 7% or $17 million, with one time money backfilling some of those cuts. Those two competing plans will now play out over the upcoming legislative session.
