HB 26 Utah House · 2025 General Session

Road Jurisdiction Amendments

HB 26 amends Utah's highway designation code to remove specific roads from the state highway system and adjust descriptions of other state highways. It directly affects the Utah Department of Transportation by changing which roads are classified as state-maintained routes, such as removing SR-107 from the list and modifying SR-108's route description. The bill makes technical updates to highway designations without adding new funding or creating new programs, focusing solely on administrative adjustments to road jurisdiction.

MODERATE

This bill amends Utah's Designation of State Highways Act to remove certain roads from the state highway system and modify the descriptions of existing state highways. The changes affect road jurisdiction, maintenance responsibilities, and legal definitions of which roads are considered state highways. Some specific route descriptions were updated, and one route (SR-107) was removed entirely from the state highway system.

Scope change

The bill narrows the scope of state highway jurisdiction by removing SR-107 from the list of state highways and modifying descriptions of other routes, which transfers maintenance and jurisdictional responsibilities to local entities or other agencies.

SCOPE

SR-107 was removed from the list of state highways, meaning it is no longer maintained or regulated as a state highway.

DEFINITION

Descriptions of multiple state highways (SR-101 through SR-110, SR-171 through SR-180, SR-191 through SR-200, SR-282 through SR-290, and SR-291 through SR-299) were updated to reflect current road alignments and endpoints.

SR-176 description was modified to clarify the endpoint at Lighthouse Lane in Vineyard.

SR-193 description was modified to clarify the starting point from Route 110 in West Point.

TECHNICAL

Formatting and numbering corrections were made throughout the bill text to align with standard legislative formatting requirements.
