AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.
Utah's Legislature and Governor jointly urge Congress to authorize limited, targeted sales, transfers, or exchanges of federally managed "unreserved" lands — meaning federal land with no designated federal purpose — located within or immediately adjacent to existing municipal boundaries or population centers, specifically to support the development of moderate-income housing. The resolution asks Congress to allow flexibility in how such land changes hands, such as through exchanges or transfers, while maintaining responsible stewardship of the land. It directs that a copy be sent to Utah's congressional delegation, but it changes no existing state law and carries no funding; any actual land transfers would depend on future action by Congress.
