Historic Roadways Protection Act
The Historic Roadways Protection Act (S 3148) prohibits federal funding for finalizing or implementing specific travel management plans in designated Utah areas until the resolution of ongoing R.S. 2477 court cases. The ban applies from the bill's enactment until the Secretary of the Interior certifies all R.S. 2477 cases (related to historic rights-of-way) have been decided. It specifically blocks funding for new plans in 10 Utah travel management areas (including the Henry Mountains and Fremont Gorge) and for implementing three named plans (Indian Creek, San Rafael Desert, and Labyrinth/Gemini Bridges). This directly restricts federal land management spending in Utah during the applicable period.
