Bill Summary
General Description: This bill addresses recreational infrastructure for accessibility in state parks.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Utah law to broaden the definition of a "recreational infrastructure project" to explicitly include the construction or improvement of trails, facilities, or the acquisition of equipment that specifically enhances access for disabled or adaptive users, thereby improving outdoor recreation accessibility for a wider range of individuals. The bill also clarifies that such projects *include* rather than *may include* various types of outdoor recreational developments, such as trails, water-related activities, wildlife watching opportunities, winter recreation amenities, community parks with outdoor recreation features, and naturalistic and accessible playgrounds. Additionally, the bill sets an effective date for these changes to May 6, 2026.
