University of Utah Research Park Act
S 1260, the University of Utah Research Park Act, transfers full ownership of approximately 593 acres of land in Salt Lake City from the U.S. government to the University of Utah. The bill releases the federal government's future ownership claim (reversionary interest) on this specific land - described by historical patent details and parcel numbers - without requiring payment. This directly affects the University of Utah by granting it complete control over the land for its Research Park development. The legislation is purely procedural, involving a land title transfer with no new programs or funding.
