Utah law currently spreads several economic development tools—such as convention center reinvestment zones, housing and transit reinvestment zones, home ownership promotion zones, first home investment zones, capital city revitalization zones, and transportation reinvestment zones—across multiple sections of state code, including provisions within the Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity and various local government statutes. This bill would reorganize and consolidate those provisions into a single new part of the code (Title 63N, Chapter 23), renumbering and cross-referencing the relevant sections throughout state law so that references to these zones point to their new locations. It would also amend and clarify certain provisions of the convention center reinvestment zone programs, repeal an outdated section, and make other technical and conforming changes to ensure consistency across the code. Overall, the bill is primarily structural, aiming to streamline how these economic development zone laws are organized rather than substantially changing how the underlying programs function.
