What this bill does
AI summary from the official description
The bill would create a local impact mitigation tax on oil and gas produced in Utah and then saved, sold, or transported, paid quarterly by producers. The State Tax Commission would take an administrative fee and send the rest to the originating counties, which could spend it only on transportation mitigation projects and report to the Legislature.
