Sponsor: Stephen H. Urquhart

                  This act appropriates $100,000 from the General Fund for fiscal year 2001-02 to the Office

                  developing and implementing land use plans and to Southern Utah University to conduct
                  workshops on land planning.
                  This act enacts uncodified material.
                  Be it enacted by the Legislature of the state of Utah:
                      Section 1. Intent.
                      The Legislature finds that appropriate land-use planning by the counties and other local
                  governments is a matter of state concern and that the quality of land-use planning improves with
                  training and education. It is the intent of the Legislature in appropriating these funds to help meet
                  the statewide need for training and education of county, local, and state officials involved in
                  land-use planning activities to improve the quality of land-use planning.
                      Section 2. Appropriation.

                      (i) distribute up to $10,000 of the appropriated funds to Southern Utah University for use
                  by its Utah Center for Rural Life to conduct workshops on preparation of land-use plans, including
                  protection of private property rights and other rights attached to property;
                      (ii) determine, in conjunction with the Utah Association of Counties, the counties and
                  other local governments most qualified to receive the remainder of the appropriated funds to assist
                  in developing and implementing land-use plans, based on criteria established by the Governor's
                  Local Government Comprehensive Planning Project Steering Committee;
                      (iii) consider the recommendations of the Governor's Rural Partnership Board in
                  determining the counties and other local governments most qualified to receive funds under


                  Subsection (1)(b)(ii); and
                      (iv) distribute the remaining funds to counties and other local governments that:
                      (A) meet the criteria established by the Governor's Local Government Comprehensive
                  Planning Project Steering Committee;
                      (B) match the amount distributed by the Office of Planning and Budget in funds or in kind;
                      (C) agree to encourage county, local, and state officials involved with land-use planning to
                  attend the workshops; and
                      (D) agree to review and, if necessary, revise the comprehensive general plan at least
                  annually.
                      (c) In planning and presenting the workshops provided under Subsection (1)(b)(i), Southern
                  Utah University, through its Utah Center for Rural Life, may involve county and other local
                  government officials who are preparing or have completed a land-use plan.
                      (2) These appropriations are nonlapsing.
