HB 62 Utah House · 2026 General Session

Road Jurisdiction Amendments

HB 62 amends the legal descriptions of two Utah state highways - SR-73 and SR-145 - to correct outdated references in state law. Specifically, it updates SR-73's route to properly reference Route 85 and Route 145 in Saratoga Springs, and revises SR-145's description to align with current road connections. The bill makes no new policy changes, appropriations, or physical road modifications; it solely clarifies existing highway boundaries for administrative accuracy. This technical correction affects state transportation records and planning but does not alter road maintenance, funding, or public access. The changes take effect on May 6, 2026.
