Public Lands Duty of Care Amendments

Summary

The bill declares that Utah retains legislative power over federal lands that the federal government holds only as a property owner, covering roughly 35 million acres. It directs the Public Lands Policy Coordinating Office to identify, map, and annually report on these landscape‑scale lands, including any forested public‑nuisance zones, with assistance from the Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands. The measure also reinforces multiple‑use, sustained‑yield management principles for those lands.
