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 operational 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 sites designed for global trade processing and value-added services. The bill also refines how project area boundaries can be described and adjusted, allowing for minor administrative adjustments and specifying that boundary adjustments for project areas do not apply to the UIPA's jurisdictional land boundaries, which have separate modification rules. Additionally, it clarifies the use of property tax differential funds, allowing up to 75% of general differential from certain parcels to be used for various purposes including infrastructure, environmental mitigation, and affordable housing, with specific water usage limitations for new commercial or industrial development in the capital city. The State Fair Park Authority's powers are also updated, including provisions for concessions and land development procurement. The bill takes effect on May 6, 2026.
