Summary
This bill extends the deadline for Utah's radioactive waste facility expansion tax by one year, from December 31, 2025 to December 31, 2026. The tax, which charges radioactive waste facilities $3.45 per cubic yard of new disposal capacity (up to 8.7 million cubic yards), applies to facilities that submit expansion or new facility applications to the state Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control by the deadline. The bill also extends the repeal date of the tax statute from July 1, 2026 to July 1, 2027, ensuring the tax remains in effect through the extended application period, with revenues continuing to flow to the state's Electrical Energy Development Investment Fund.
