Utah's Outdoor Recreational Infrastructure Grant Program, which funds projects like trails, parks, and water-related recreation facilities, would be expanded under this bill to also cover the restoration of natural features, such as lakes, rivers, or other waterbodies, when the goal is to improve public access to the outdoors. This means communities seeking state grant money for restoring a local waterbody for recreational use could now qualify for funding through the Division of Outdoor Recreation, in addition to projects that build or improve existing facilities and installations. The bill also makes minor technical and wording updates elsewhere in the law governing this grant program and its related funding account, without changing how the money is divided among state agencies.
