Legislative Review Note
as of 1-13-97 3:10 PM

This bill raises the following constitutional or statutory concerns:


Article XIII, Section 5 of the Utah Constitution prohibits the Legislature from imposing a tax
for the purpose of any county, city, town or other municipal corporation. The bill does not
violate Article XIII, Section 5 to the extent that the Springville Museum of Art can be
considered as operating for a statewide purpose instead of a local purpose.
