Line Item: Uintah Basin Revitalization Fund Function The Uintah Basin Revitalization Fund is to maximize the long-term benefit of severance taxes by funding items that will make the best of use of resources for largest number of Uintah Basin residents. These residents include Uintah and Duchesne Counties as well as Ute tribe members. The Fund's uses must be approved by four of five members of the governing board. The board consists of a governor's designee, a Duchesne County Commissioner, a Uintah County Commissioner, and two representatives of the Ute Indian Tribe's Business Committee. Statutory Authority Statutory authority for the Fund comes from UCA 35A-8-1602 and 59-5-116. This Fund receives revenue automatically as per UCA 35A-8-1602. For Ute tribal lands, the Fund receives 33% of severance taxes from wells existing before July 1995 and 80% of taxes from new wells beginning production on or after July 1995. The maximum annual deposit cannot exceed a statutory cap. The cap is $6,000,000, as adjusted by a commission for the consumer price index using 2008 as the base year. If the annual deposit were to exceed $6,000,000, then the excess would go into the General Fund. The Ute Tribe receives the most annually from the fund followed by Duchesne and Uintah Counties who receive equal amounts.
