Bill > SB0020

This bill amends the existing law regarding the creation and operation of public infrastructure districts, particularly in relation to military land and project areas. Key provisions include: - Allowing the Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA) to create a public infrastructure district as a subsidiary without the typical requirements for petitions from registered voters and property owners, as long as all surface property owners within the proposed district consent. - Clarifying that for military land within a MIDA project area, the lessee of the military land is considered the owner for the purposes of creating a public infrastructure district. - Granting immunity from liability for governmental entities that own or approve the use of contaminated property within a MIDA project area, provided certain conditions are met, such as obtaining a certificate of completion from the Utah Department of Environmental Quality. - Allowing the Department of Transportation to transfer ownership of former rail lines adjacent to MIDA project areas to MIDA at no cost.
