Bill > HB0514

This bill establishes the Utah Energy Infrastructure Service District, a new legal entity designed to acquire, own, operate, and maintain energy infrastructure facilities within designated service areas, and modifies provisions related to the Utah Energy Council. The district will be governed by a board of trustees composed of the members of the Utah Energy Council, and its creation and service areas will be overseen by the council and filed with the lieutenant governor. The district has the power to enter into contracts for the management and operation of these facilities, issue revenue bonds to finance them, and establish a dedicated revenue fund. The bill also clarifies that the district's debts are its own and not those of the state, and outlines procedures for its dissolution. Additionally, it makes changes to the composition and co-chair structure of the Utah Energy Council, and grants the council the authority to create the new energy district and designate its service areas.
