H.B. 557 Revisor's Technical Corrections to Utah Code: transcript

You Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this is the annual technical cleanup bill that we run. This has no substantive changes. This bill has been compiled by LRGC and fixes problems with outdated language, inaccurate cross references, um, those types of issues. It comes, many of you are aware of this, but just as a reminder, HR three dash two dash 4 0 1 brings this bill to the floor directly. It does not go to a committee bill because it is strictly A-L-R-G-C cleanup bill, where we tighten up some of the problems with our statute that drafters have found through the years. So, um, with that, Mr. Speaker, I would yield to any questions?

What this does is it requires the reporting for the tourism tax, also known as TRT. The counties that are, uh, seeking TRT money, they just need to file their reports for the year before, before they can get new money. This allows the auditor to, uh, hold that over their heads until they comply with the appropriate reports. Okay. And so that is the substance of the bill. Thank you. Discussion.
