State Park Road Amendments
HB 345 updates Utah's legal descriptions of highway access routes to 12 state parks, including Hyrum, Jordanelle, and Kodachrome Basin. The bill amends two sections of Utah law (72-3-204 and 72-3-206) to add precise details about starting points, directions, distances, and governing authorities for each park's access roads. It directly affects park visitors and local jurisdictions managing these routes by clarifying official access points without changing park operations or fees. The bill contains no new funding or policy changes, solely providing updated, standardized descriptions for public reference.

MODERATE
This bill updates Utah state law to add and revise the official descriptions of access highways for various state parks. The changes clarify how visitors can reach specific parks, including new access routes for parks like Soldier Hollow, Cascade Springs, and multiple Wasatch Mountain State Park entrances, while removing outdated or duplicate entries. This helps ensure accurate legal descriptions for park access roads, which is important for jurisdictional clarity and visitor guidance.
Scope change
The bill expands the scope of defined state park access highways by adding new entries for Soldier Hollow, Cascade Springs, and multiple Wasatch Mountain State Park access points, while removing duplicate numbering for Millsite and Otter Creek State Parks.
DEFINITION
Added access descriptions for Soldier Hollow and Cascade Springs as new entries in the state park access highways list.
Added three new access routes for Wasatch Mountain State Park (East, South, and West Access) to clarify multiple entry points.
Removed duplicate numbering for Millsite State Park (previously item 9, now renumbered to 10) and Otter Creek State Park (previously item 10, now renumbered to 11) to fix sequencing errors.
Updated the list of state parks covered under 72-3-204 to include Painted Rocks (Yuba East Shore) as the final entry, maintaining consistency with the bill's title.
