Appropriations Subcommittee

Line Item: Rural Health Care Facilities Distribution

Function

The Rural Health Care Facilities Fund is used by rural hospitals to cover operating expenses. The Tax Commission transfers the funds to local governments. In FY 2010, five local governments used the funds (see below). Because Uintah County will no longer receive funds in FY 2011, the remainder of the $555,000 earmark will lapse to the General Fund.

Beaver City ($55,843);
Daggett County ($15,941);
Garfield County ($54,253);
Kane County ($92,773); and
Uintah County ($252,143).

Statutory Authority

Utah Code 59-12-802 contains the details of the rural county health care facilities tax.
