Environmental Legal Action Amendments

Summary

The bill changes Utah law so that anyone filing an environmental action and seeking a preliminary injunction or an administrative stay must first post a surety bond or cash equivalent. The bond must be enough to cover any damages to defendants if the plaintiff does not ultimately win the case. It applies to actions challenging permits issued by the Department of Natural Resources, Department of Transportation, and the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration.
