Historic Roadways Protection Act

What this bill does

  • This bill blocks the Bureau of Land Management from closing historical roads on public lands in Utah until courts decide pending legal cases.
  • Utah state government and 22 counties are affected, as they dispute road access rights on federally managed land.
  • The ban on road closures and travel management plan implementation stays in place until all R.S. 2477 lawsuits are resolved by the Federal District Court.

  3. 03

    What evidence exists that resolving these R.S. 2477 lawsuits through courts rather than administrative action would produce fair outcomes for all stakeholders?
