Please Continue to Share the Don’t Pave Utah Lake Petition!
by Kaye Nelson | April 22, 2022 | DontPaveUtahLake, Utah Lake | 2 Comments
Hello all! It’s been an interesting winter! We are grateful that Rep. Keven Stratton sponsored and worked diligently to get H.B. 240 passed in the legislative session. This bill amends H.B. 272 from 2018. There was constant monitoring, meeting with policy makers, listening, additional changes and waiting (so much waiting!) as we watched it move through the process. We are grateful we were heard and that much needed transparency and tighter guidelines are now in place.
