Representative Kay McIff
has introduced House Bill 233 (H.B. 233), entitled "Public Trust
Obligations and Water Rights Protections." This bill seeks to define
the scope and limits of the public trust doctrine in Utah. The bill also
clarifies that a water right is a property right that is protected by
the Utah Constitution, and cannot be taken for public use without just
compensation.
This bill is nearly identical to HB 68 that Representative McIff ran in 2013.
