Committee approves technical fix to add two parks to state park road fund eligibility
Summary
House Bill 345 adds Lost Creek State Park and Utah Raptor State Park to the statutory list of parks eligible for the State Park Access Road Improvement Fund; the committee recommended the bill favorably and placed it on the consent calendar.
The House Transportation Committee voted to advance House Bill 345, which adds Lost Creek State Park and Utah Raptor State Park to the list of parks eligible to apply for the State Park Access Road Improvement Fund.
Representative Sawyer introduced the measure as a statutory cleanup. Kerry Gibson, representing Morgan County, and Scott Strong, director of Utah State Parks, told the committee the change simply ensures the two parks are cross‑referenced in the transportation code so they can apply for the small fund used to maintain park access roads. Strong noted the Department of the Interior (National Park Service) maintains separate federal roads and that this statutory list applies only to Utah state parks.
The committee recommended HB 345 with a favorable recommendation and voted to place the bill on the consent calendar. No opposition or fiscal complication was recorded in committee testimony.
