Bill > SB0225

This bill modifies provisions related to the Utah Inland Port Authority (UIPA) and the State Fair Park Authority, primarily by updating definitions and clarifying procedures. Key changes include defining "GIS boundary file" as a digital format for storing geographic information, expanding the definition of "distribution center" to include facilities like rail or customs clearance operations, and clarifying that an "inland port" can encompass multiple related facilities designed to process global trade and serve as a regional transportation hub. The bill also refines how project area boundaries are described, allowing for the inclusion of GIS boundary files, and introduces provisions for administrative adjustments to project area boundaries under certain conditions, while explicitly stating these adjustments do not apply to the UIPA's jurisdictional land boundaries. Additionally, it clarifies the use of property tax differential funds, specifying that up to 75% of general differential revenue from parcels outside the UIPA's jurisdictional land can be used, as determined by the board and included in a project area plan, and also updates the State Fair Park Authority's procurement exceptions to include concessions providers and development of fair park land by qualified owners.
