Senate unanimously advances bill to explore creation of Hole In The Rock State Park
Summary
The Senate passed House Bill 63 to initiate conversations with counties, the Hole in the Rock Foundation, state parks and federal agencies about creating a Hole In The Rock State Park; the measure passed unanimously on a 24-0 roll call in the recorded vote.
Senators voted to advance House Bill 63, which sponsors described as creating a need for conversation among stakeholders, including county governments, the Hole in the Rock Foundation, Utah State Parks, federal agencies and State Trust Lands, to study the possibility of creating Hole In The Rock State Park.
Senator Dayton moved the bill and said he was open to questions; none were recorded. The clerk conducted a roll-call vote and the presiding officer reported the bill had received 24 'yay' votes and 0 'nay' votes. The Senate concluded its business for the afternoon following the vote.
The measure, as discussed on the floor, directs intergovernmental conversation and stakeholder coordination; it does not on its face create a park immediately but sets in motion formal review and discussion among relevant entities. The Senate returned enrolled copies and adjourned until 11 a.m. the following day.
Next steps include the House-to-Senate transmission process where applicable and any committee work or stakeholder meetings that follow the Senate’s passage.
