What This Bill Does
This bill addresses grazing on school and institutional trust lands.
Key Provisions
This bill:
- requires the director of the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) to prioritize multiple use and sustained yield in the management of school and institutional trust lands (trust lands);
- prohibits the director of SITLA from issuing permits for the non-use of trust lands if the trust lands may be used for grazing; and
- makes technical and conforming changes.
Plain-Language Summary
AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Changes to Utah's School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) rules require the agency's director to prioritize "multiple use and sustained yield" — meaning land should serve several purposes over the long term — when managing state trust lands, and prohibit the director from issuing "non-use" permits (permits that allow land to sit idle) on any trust land where grazing is a viable option. Grazing permit terms must continue to be based on the fair market value of the land's grazing use.
