This bill:
AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.
When a government agency acquires private property and forces a business, farm, or nonprofit to relocate, Utah law requires that entity to receive financial assistance to cover the actual, reasonable costs of reestablishing itself at a new site. This bill would raise the cap on that assistance from $50,000 to $75,000, and starting July 1, 2027, it would require the Department of Transportation to recalculate that cap each year based on changes in the Consumer Price Index (a measure of inflation), publish the updated amount by January 30, and share it with the Office of the Property Rights Ombudsman.
