Bill > HB0035

This bill: Modifies and enacts provisions relating to metro townships. Specifically, it converts existing metro townships into municipalities and classifies them based on population under Section 10-2-301. The powers of municipal government for the converted municipalities are vested in a five-member council under the five-member council form of municipal government, with the option to change the form of government. The bill provides for the continuity of operations, ordinances, and services for the converted municipalities. It also makes conforming changes throughout the Utah Code to remove references to metro townships and incorporate the converted municipalities. The bill takes effect on May 1, 2024, except for changes to the effective date of amendments to Sections 10-2-425 and 53-2d-101, which take effect on July 1, 2024.
