Strong families are the foundation of Utah’s success, but rising costs have made it harder for many to keep up. This legislative session, we took meaningful steps to provide relief where it matters most.
For the sixth year in a row, taxes were cut, bringing the total income tax reduction to 11%. That’s a sustained commitment to helping Utahns keep more of what they earn. We also expanded the Child Tax Credit and made childcare more affordable and accessible, providing real support for working families.
Starting July 1, 2026, a 15% gas tax cut will deliver immediate savings every time Utahns fill up their tanks.
But this session wasn’t just about lowering costs. It was also about strengthening families for the long term. Investments in youth mental health, early intervention, and education will help ensure children have the support they need to succeed. We also prioritized early literacy, public education, and career and technical training — recognizing that opportunity starts both in the classroom and through hands-on learning.
This session we lowered costs, strengthened families, and protected our kids to secure a brighter future for Utah.
