             100      Be it enacted by the Legislature of the state of Utah:
             101          Section 1. Section 13-32a-109 is amended to read:
             102           13-32a-109. Holding period for articles.
             103          (1) (a) The pawnbroker may sell any article pawned to the pawnbroker:
             104          (i) after the expiration of the contract period between the pawnbroker and the pledgor;
             105      and
             106          (ii) if the pawnbroker has complied with the requirements of Section 13-32a-106
             107      regarding reporting to the central database and Section 13-32a-103 .
             108          (b) If an article, including scrap jewelry, is purchased by a pawn or secondhand
             109      business or a coin dealer, the pawn or secondhand business or coin dealer may sell the article
             110      after the pawn or secondhand business or coin dealer has held the article for 15 days and
             111      complied with the requirements of Section 13-32a-106 regarding reporting to the central
             112      database and Section 13-32a-103 , except that pawn, secondhand, and coin dealer businesses are
             113      not required to hold precious metals or coins under this Subsection (1)(b).
             114          (c) This Subsection (1) does not preclude a law enforcement agency from requiring a
             115      pawn or secondhand business to hold an article if necessary in the course of an investigation.
             116          (i) If the article was pawned, the law enforcement agency may require the article be
             117      held beyond the terms of the contract between the pledgor and the pawn broker.
             118          (ii) If the article was sold to the pawn or secondhand business, the law enforcement
             119      agency may require the article be held if the pawn or secondhand business has not sold the
             120      article.


             121          (d) If the law enforcement agency requesting a hold on property under this Subsection
             122      (1) is not the local law enforcement agency, the requesting law enforcement agency shall notify
             123      the local law enforcement agency of the request and also the pawn or secondhand business.
             124          (2) If a law enforcement agency requires the pawn or secondhand business to hold an
             125      article as part of an investigation, the agency shall provide to the pawn or secondhand business
             126      a hold ticket issued by the agency, which:
             127          (a) states the active case number;
             128          (b) confirms the date of the hold request and the article to be held; and
             129          (c) facilitates the ability of the pawn or secondhand business to track the article when
             130      the prosecution takes over the case.
             131          (3) If an article is not seized by a law enforcement agency that has placed a hold on the
             132      property, the property shall remain in the custody of the pawn or secondhand business until
             133      further disposition by the law enforcement agency, and as consistent with this chapter.
             134          (4) The initial hold by a law enforcement agency is for a period of 90 days. If the
             135      article is not seized by the law enforcement agency, the article shall remain in the custody of
             136      the pawn or secondhand business and is subject to the hold unless exigent circumstances
             137      require the purchased or pawned article to be seized by the law enforcement agency.
             138          (5) (a) A law enforcement agency may extend any hold for up to an additional 90 days
             139      when exigent circumstances require the extension.
             140          (b) When there is an extension of a hold under Subsection (5)(a), the requesting law
             141      enforcement agency shall notify the pawn or secondhand business that is subject to the hold
             142      prior to the expiration of the initial 90 days.
             143          (c) A law enforcement agency may not hold an item for more than the 180 days
             144      allowed under Subsections (5)(a) and (b) without obtaining a court order authorizing the hold.
             145          (6) A hold on an article under Subsection (2) takes precedence over any request to
             146      claim or purchase the article subject to the hold.
             147          (7) When the purpose for the hold on or seizure of an article is terminated, the law
             148      enforcement agency requiring the hold or seizure shall within 15 days after the termination:
             149          (a) notify the pawn or secondhand business in writing that the hold or seizure has been
             150      terminated;
             151          (b) return the article subject to the seizure to the pawn or secondhand business; or


             152          (c) if the article is not returned to the pawn or secondhand business, advise the pawn or
             153      secondhand business either in writing or electronically of the specific alternative disposition of
             154      the article.
             155          (8) If the law enforcement agency does not notify the pawn or secondhand business
             156      that a hold on an item has expired, the pawn or secondhand business shall send a letter by
             157      registered or certified [United States] mail to the law enforcement agency that ordered the hold
             158      and inform the agency that the holding period has expired. The law enforcement agency shall
             159      respond within 30 days by:
             160          (a) confirming that the holding period has expired and that the pawn or secondhand
             161      business may manage the item as if acquired in the ordinary course of business; or
             162          (b) providing written notice to the pawn or secondhand business that a court order has
             163      continued the period of time for which the item shall be held.
             164          (9) The written notice under Subsection (8)(b) is considered provided when:
             165          (a) personally delivered to the pawn or secondhand business with a signed receipt of
             166      delivery;
             167          (b) delivered to the pawn or secondhand business by registered or certified [United
             168      States] mail; or
             169          (c) delivered by any other means with the mutual assent of the law enforcement agency
             170      and the pawn or secondhand business.
             171          (10) If the law enforcement agency does not respond within 30 days under Subsection
             172      (8), the pawn or secondhand business may manage the item as if acquired in the ordinary
             173      course of business.
             174          Section 2. Section 16-10a-740 is amended to read:
             175           16-10a-740. Procedure in derivative proceedings.

             180          (b) "shareholder" includes a beneficial owner whose shares are held:

             182          (ii) by a nominee on the beneficial owner's behalf.


             183          (2) A shareholder may not commence or maintain a derivative proceeding unless the
             184      shareholder:
             185          (a) (i) was a shareholder of the corporation at the time of the act or omission
             186      complained of; or
             187          (ii) became a shareholder through transfer by operation of law from one who was a
             188      shareholder at the time of the act or omission complained of; and
             189          (b) fairly and adequately represents the interests of the corporation in enforcing the
             190      right of the corporation.
             191          (3) (a) A shareholder may not commence a derivative proceeding until:
             192          (i) a written demand has been made upon the corporation to take suitable action; and
             193          (ii) 90 days have expired from the date the demand described in Subsection (3)(a)(i) is
             194      made unless:
             195          (A) the shareholder is notified before the 90 days have expired that the demand has
             196      been rejected by the corporation; or
             197          (B) irreparable injury to the corporation would result by waiting for the expiration of
             198      the 90-day period.
             199          (b) A complaint in a derivative proceeding shall be:
             200          (i) verified; and
             201          (ii) allege with particularity the demand made to obtain action by the board of
             202      directors.
             203          (c) A derivative proceeding shall comply with the procedures of Utah Rules of Civil

             205          (d) The court shall stay any derivative proceeding until the inquiry is completed and for

             208      complaint; and
             209          (ii) a person or group described in Subsection (4) is conducting an active review of the
             210      allegations in good faith.
             211          (e) If a corporation proposes to dismiss a derivative proceeding pursuant to Subsection
             212      (4)(a), discovery by a shareholder following the filing of the derivative proceeding in
             213      accordance with this section:


             214          (i) shall be limited to facts relating to:
             215          (A) whether the person or group described in Subsection (4)(b) or (4)(f) is independent
             216      and disinterested;
             217          (B) the good faith of the inquiry and review by the person or group described in
             218      Subsection (4)(b) or (4)(f); and
             219          (C) the reasonableness of the procedures followed by the person or group described in
             220      Subsection (4)(b) or (4)(f) in conducting its review; and
             221          (ii) may not extend to any facts or substantive matters with respect to the act, omission,
             222      or other matter that is the subject matter of the derivative proceeding.
             223          (4) (a) A derivative proceeding shall be dismissed by the court on motion by the
             224      corporation if a person or group specified in Subsections (4)(b) or (4)(f) determines in good
             225      faith after conducting a reasonable inquiry upon which its conclusions are based that the
             226      maintenance of the derivative proceeding is not in the best interests of the corporation.
             227          (b) Unless a panel is appointed pursuant to Subsection (4)(f), the determination in
             228      Subsection (4)(a) shall be made by:
             229          (i) a majority vote of independent directors present at a meeting of the board of
             230      directors if the independent directors constitute a quorum; or
             231          (ii) a majority vote of a committee consisting of two or more independent directors
             232      appointed by a majority vote of independent directors present at a meeting of the board of
             233      directors, whether or not such independent directors appointing the committee constituted a
             234      quorum.
             235          (c) None of the following shall by itself cause a director to be considered not
             236      independent for purposes of this section:
             237          (i) the nomination or election of the director by persons:
             238          (A) who are defendants in the derivative proceeding; or
             239          (B) against whom action is demanded;
             240          (ii) the naming of the director as:
             241          (A) a defendant in the derivative proceeding; or
             242          (B) a person against whom action is demanded; or
             243          (iii) the approval by the director of the act being challenged in the derivative
             244      proceeding or demand if the act resulted in no personal benefit to the director.


             245          (d) If a derivative proceeding is commenced after a determination has been made
             246      rejecting a demand by a shareholder, the complaint shall allege with particularity facts
             247      establishing either:
             248          (i) that a majority of the board of directors did not consist of independent directors at
             249      the time the determination was made; or
             250          (ii) that the requirements of Subsection (4)(a) have not been met.
             251          (e) (i) If a majority of the board of directors does not consist of independent directors at
             252      the time the determination is made rejecting a demand by a shareholder, the corporation has
             253      the burden of proving that the requirements of Subsection (4)(a) have been met.
             254          (ii) If a majority of the board of directors consists of independent directors at the time
             255      the determination is made rejecting a demand by a shareholder, the plaintiff has the burden of
             256      proving that the requirements of Subsection (4)(a) have not been met.
             257          (f) (i) The court may appoint a panel of one or more independent persons upon motion
             258      by the corporation to make a determination whether the maintenance of the derivative
             259      proceeding is in the best interests of the corporation.
             260          (ii) If the court appoints a panel under Subsection (4)(f)(i), the plaintiff has the burden
             261      of proving that the requirements of Subsection (4)(a) have not been met.
             262          (g) A person may appeal from an interlocutory order of a court that grants or denies a
             263      motion to dismiss brought pursuant to Subsection (4)(a).
             264          (5) (a) A derivative proceeding may not be discontinued or settled without the court's
             265      approval.
             266          (b) If the court determines that a proposed discontinuance or settlement will

             3204           63J-8-104. State land use planning and management program.
             3205          The BLM and Forest Service land use plans should produce planning documents

             3208      program for the subject lands that is as follows:
             3209          (1) preserve traditional multiple use and sustained yield management on the subject
             3210      lands to:
             3211          (a) achieve and maintain in perpetuity a high-level annual or regular periodic output of
             3212      agricultural, mineral, and various other resources from the subject lands;

             3219          (d) meet the recreational needs and the personal and business-related transportation
             3220      needs of the citizens of each county where the subject lands are situated by providing access


             3221      throughout each such county;
             3222          (e) meet the needs of wildlife, provided that the respective forage needs of wildlife and
             3223      livestock are balanced according to the provisions of Subsection 63J-4-401 (6)(m);
             3224          (f) protect against adverse effects to historic properties, as defined by 36 C.F.R. Sec.
             3225      800;
             3226          (g) meet the needs of community economic growth and development;

             3232      with management prescriptions that parallel, duplicate, or resemble the management
             3233      prescriptions established for wilderness areas or wilderness study areas, including the
             3234      nonimpairment standard applicable to WSAs or anything that parallels, duplicates, or
             3235      resembles that nonimpairment standard; and
             3236          (b) recognize, follow, and apply the agreement between the state and the Department of
             3237      the Interior in the settlement agreement;
             3238          (3) call upon the BLM to revoke and revise BLM Manuals H 6301, H 6302, and H
             3239      6303, issued on or about February 25, 2011, in light of the settlement agreement and the
             3240      following principles of this state plan:
             3241          (a) BLM lacks congressional authority to manage subject lands, other than WSAs, as if
             3242      they are or may become wilderness;
             3243          (b) BLM lacks authority to designate geographic areas as lands with wilderness
             3244      characteristics or designate management prescriptions for such areas other than to use specific
             3245      geographic-based tools and prescriptions expressly identified in FLPMA;
             3246          (c) BLM lacks authority to manage the subject lands in any manner other than to
             3247      prevent unnecessary or undue degradation, unless the BLM uses geographic tools expressly
             3248      identified in FLPMA and does so pursuant to a duly adopted provision of a resource
             3249      management plan adopted under FLPMA, 43 U.S.C. Sec. 1712;
             3250          (d) BLM inventories for the presence of wilderness characteristics must be closely
             3251      coordinated with inventories for those characteristics conducted by state and local


             3252      governments, and should reflect a consensus among those governmental agencies about the
             3253      existence of wilderness characteristics, as follows:
             3254          (i) any inventory of wilderness characteristics should reflect all of the criteria identified
             3255      in the Wilderness Act of 1964, including:
             3256          (A) a size of 5,000 acres or more, containing no visible roads; and
             3257          (B) the presence of naturalness, the opportunity for primitive and unconfined
             3258      recreation, and the opportunity for solitude;
             3259          (ii) geographic areas found to contain the presence of naturalness must appear pristine
             3260      to the average viewer, and not contain any of the implements, artifacts, or effects of human
             3261      presence, including:
             3262          (A) visible roads, whether maintained or not; and
             3263          (B) human-made features such as vehicle bridges, fire breaks, fisheries, enhancement
             3264      facilities, fire rings, historic mining and other properties, including tailings piles, commercial
             3265      radio and communication repeater sites, fencing, spring developments, linear disturbances,
             3266      stock ponds, visible drill pads, pipeline and transmission line rights-of-way, and other similar
             3267      features;
             3268          (iii) factors, such as the following, though not necessarily conclusive, should weigh
             3269      against a determination that a land area has the presence of naturalness:
             3270          (A) the area is or once was the subject of mining and drilling activities;
             3271          (B) mineral and hard rock mining leases exist in the area; and
             3272          (C) the area is in a grazing district with active grazing allotments and visible range
             3273      improvements;
             3274          (iv) geographic areas found to contain the presence of solitude should convey the sense
             3275      of solitude within the entire geographic area identified, otherwise boundary adjustments should
             3276      be performed in accordance with Subsection (3)(d)(vii);
             3277          (v) geographic areas found to contain the presence of an opportunity for primitive and
             3278      unconfined recreation must find these features within the entire area and provide analysis about
             3279      the effect of the number of visitors to the geographic area upon the presence of primitive or
             3280      unconfined recreation, otherwise boundary adjustments should be performed in accordance
             3281      with Subsection (3)(d)(vii);
             3282          (vi) in addition to the actions required by the review for roads pursuant to the


             3283      definitions of roads contained in BLM Manual H 6301, or any similar authority, the BLM
             3284      should, pursuant to its authority to inventory, identify and list all roads or routes identified as
             3285      part of a local or state governmental transportation system, and consider those routes or roads
             3286      as qualifying as roads within the definition of the Wilderness Act of 1964; and
             3287          (vii) BLM should adjust the boundaries for a geographic area to exclude areas that do
             3288      not meet the criteria of lacking roads, lacking solitude, and lacking primitive and unconfined
             3289      recreation and the boundaries should be redrawn to reflect an area that clearly meets the criteria
             3290      above, and which does not employ minor adjustments to simply exclude small areas with
             3291      human intrusions, specifically:
             3292          (A) the boundaries of a proposed geographic area containing lands with wilderness
             3293      characteristics should not be drawn around roads, rights-of-way, and intrusions; and
             3294          (B) lands located between individual human impacts that do not meet the requirements
             3295      for lands with wilderness characteristics should be excluded;
             3296          (e) BLM should consider the responses of the [United States] Department of the
             3297      Interior under cover of the letter dated May 20, 2009, clearly stating that BLM does not have
             3298      the authority to apply the nonimpairment management standard to the subject lands, or to
             3299      manage the subject lands in any manner to preserve their suitability for designation as
             3300      wilderness, when considering the proper management principles for areas that meet the full
             3301      definition of lands with wilderness characteristics; and
             3302          (f) even if the BLM were to properly inventory an area for the presence of wilderness
             3303      characteristics, the BLM still lacks authority to make or alter project level decisions to
             3304      automatically avoid impairment of any wilderness characteristics without express
             3305      congressional authority to do so;
             3306          (4) achieve and maintain at the highest reasonably sustainable levels a continuing yield
             3307      of energy, hard rock, and nuclear resources in those subject lands with economically
             3308      recoverable amounts of such resources as follows:
             3309          (a) the development of the solid, fluid, and gaseous mineral resources in portions of the
             3310      subject lands is an important part of the state's economy and the economies of the respective
             3311      counties, and should be recognized that it is technically feasible to access mineral and energy
             3312      resources in portions of the subject lands while preserving or, as necessary, restoring
             3313      nonmineral and nonenergy resources;


             3314          (b) all available, recoverable solid, fluid, gaseous, and nuclear mineral resources in the
             3315      subject lands should be seriously considered for contribution or potential contribution to the
             3316      state's economy and the economies of the respective counties;
             3317          (c) those portions of the subject lands shown to have reasonable mineral, energy, and
             3318      nuclear potential should be open to leasing, drilling, and other access with reasonable
             3319      stipulations and conditions, including mitigation, reclamation, and bonding measures where
             3320      necessary, that will protect the lands against unnecessary and undue damage to other significant
             3321      resource values;
             3322          (d) federal oil and gas existing lease conditions and restrictions should not be modified,
             3323      waived, or removed unless the lease conditions or restrictions are no longer necessary or
             3324      effective;
             3325          (e) any prior existing lease restrictions in the subject lands that are no longer necessary
             3326      or effective should be modified, waived, or removed;
             3327          (f) restrictions against surface occupancy should be eliminated, modified, or waived,
             3328      where reasonable;
             3329          (g) in the case of surface occupancy restrictions that cannot be reasonably eliminated,
             3330      modified, or waived, directional drilling should be considered where the mineral and energy
             3331      resources beneath the area can be reached employing available directional drilling technology;
             3332          (h) applications for permission to drill in the subject lands that meet standard
             3333      qualifications, including reasonable and effective mitigation and reclamation requirements,
             3334      should be expeditiously processed and granted; and

             3399          (a) formally recognizing, by duly authorized federal proclamation, the duty of the
             3400      federal government to support the purposes of the school and institutional trust lands owned by
             3401      the state and administered by SITLA in trust for the benefit of public schools and other
             3402      institutions as mandated in the Utah Constitution and the Utah Enabling Act of 1894, 28 Stat.
             3403      107;
             3404          (b) actively seeking to support SITLA's fiduciary responsibility to manage the school
             3405      trust lands to optimize revenue by making the school trust lands available for sale and private
             3406      development and for other multiple and consumptive use activities such as mineral


             3407      development, grazing, recreation, timber, and agriculture;
             3408          (c) not interfering with SITLA's ability to carry out its fiduciary responsibilities by the

             3410      discourage the optimization of revenue, without just compensation;
             3411          (d) recognizing SITLA's right of economic access to the school trust lands to enable

             3414      53C-2-201 ;
             3415          (12) oppose the designation of BLM lands as areas of critical environmental concern
             3416      (ACEC), as the BLM lands are generally not compatible with the state's plan and policy for
             3417      managing the subject lands, but special cases may exist where such a designation is appropriate
             3418      if compliance with FLPMA, 43 U.S.C. Sec. 1702(a) is clearly demonstrated and where the
             3419      proposed designation and protection:
             3420          (a) is limited to the geographic size to the minimum necessary to meet the standards
             3421      required by Section 63J-4-401 ;
             3422          (b) is necessary to protect not just a temporary change in ground conditions or visual
             3423      resources that can be reclaimed or reversed naturally, but is clearly shown as necessary to
             3424      protect against visible damage on the ground that will persist on a time scale beyond that which
             3425      would effectively disqualify the land for a later inventory of wilderness characteristics;
             3426          (c) will not be applied in a geographic area already protected by other protective
             3427      designations available pursuant to law; and
             3428          (d) is not a substitute for the nonimpairment management requirements of wilderness
             3429      study areas; and
             3430          (13) recognize that a BLM visual resource management class I or II rating is generally
             3431      not compatible with the state's plan and policy for managing the subject lands, but special cases
             3432      may exist where such a rating is appropriate if jointly considered and created by state, local,
             3433      and federal authorities as part of an economic development plan for a region of the state, with
             3434      due regard for school trust lands and private lands within the area.
             3435          (14) All BLM and Forest Service decision documents should be accompanied with an
             3436      analysis of the social and economic impact of the decision. Such analysis should:
             3437          (a) consider all facets of the decision in light of valuation techniques for the potential


             3438      costs and benefits of the decision;
             3439          (b) clarify whether the costs and benefits employ monetized or nonmonetized
             3440      techniques;
             3441          (c) compare the accuracy, completeness, and viability of monetized and nonmonetized
             3442      valuation techniques used as part of the analysis, including all caveats on use of the techniques;
             3443      and
             3444          (d) compare the valuation techniques employed in the analysis to the federal standards
             3445      for valuation employed by the U.S. Department of Justice in court actions.
