Federal Land Transfer to Utah: Expanding State Parks for Public Use.
This Act requires the Federal Government to convey specific federal lands in Utah to the state, free of charge, to expand three existing state parks: Antelope Island, Wasatch Mountain, and Fremont Indian. This action increases public access to recreational areas, campgrounds, and grazing lands, managed by state authorities. If the land ceases to be used for public purposes, it may revert to the Federal Government.
Key points
State Park Expansion: Federal lands will be added to Antelope Island, Wasatch Mountain, and Fremont Indian State Parks, increasing the area available for public use.
No Cost to the State: The land conveyance is done without consideration (free of charge), meaning the State of Utah does not incur costs for acquiring these properties.
Public Use Requirement: The conveyed lands must be used for public purposes, including parks, campgrounds, recreation, and permitted livestock grazing, directly benefiting citizens' leisure opportunities.
Conditions for Fremont Indian Park: Specific conditions apply to the Fremont Indian State Park transfer, including reserved easements for federal roads/trails and the State of Utah covering survey costs.
