Statute

Title 59-21-2(f) of the Utah Code Annotated requires the Department of Transportation to distribute Mineral Lease Funds to special service districts organized throughout the State for areas impacted by mineral development.

This money is to improve or reconstruct highways that have been impacted by the development of the State's natural and energy resources.

Intent Language

SB0002: Item 30

The Legislature intends that the funds appropriated from the Federal Mineral Lease Account shall be used for improvement or reconstruction of highways that have been heavily impacted by energy development. The Legislature further intends that if private industries engaged in developing the State's natural resources are willing to participate in the cost of the construction of highways leading to their facilities, that local governments consider that highway as a higher priority as they prioritize the use of Mineral Lease Funds received through 59-21-1(4)(C)(i). The funds appropriated for improvement or reconstruction of energy impacted highways are nonlapsing.
