Maloy Legislation to Return Federal Land Parcels to Utah and Increase Rural Access to the Courts Heads to the White House
Washington, D.C.,
December 19, 2024
Two of Rep. Celeste Maloy’s (UT-02) bills have passed the Senate and now go to the President’s desk to be signed into law. The Utah State Parks Adjustment Act would transfer the titles for nearly 800 acres of federal land in and around state parks to the state of Utah. H.R. 8666 would authorize holding court for the Central Division of Utah in Moab and Monticello, Utah.
Rep. Celeste Maloy on the Utah State Parks Adjustment Act:
“It just makes sense for the state to take over management of these parcels. H.R. 7332 would formally transfer these lands to the state to be managed under their thoughtful and diligent management in accordance with their management of the rest of the state parks. Utah has some of the most beautiful and recognizable landscapes in the world and this bill would help ensure that Americans, Utahns, and even visitors from abroad are able to access and enjoy these parks and the resources we enjoy.”

“Our courts are an indispensable part of our Constitution for peacefully resolving our disputes and for administering justice. I am proud to say that this bill helps ensure that rural Utahns have ready access to justice in the judicial branch of our government and the court system. I want to thank my fellow Utahns for their support.”
