HR 8666 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend title 28, United States Code, to authorize holding court for the Central Division of Utah in Moab and Monticello.

This bill (HR 8666) amends federal law to allow U.S. federal courts in Utah's Central Division to hold sessions in Moab and Monticello, in addition to St. George. It directly affects the operational locations of federal courts serving eastern Utah, making it easier for residents in those communities to access court services. The change is purely procedural, updating where court sessions may be held without altering legal standards or creating new rights or obligations. It was enacted as Public Law 118-250 on January 4, 2025.
