Lake Bed Management Legislation Proposed

RANDOLPH, Utah.  February 6, 2013.  Mitch Poulsen,  Executive Director of The Bear Lake Regional Commission, told commissioners that there is new  lake bed legislation going forward in the Utah Legislature.  The Utah Division of Foresty and State Lands want to coordinate their holdings.  Representative Menloe is moving it forward and as the draft legislation will be going to committee, he wants a commissioner to be in attendance as it is drafted.  The new legislation will give more enforcement  teeth to the lake bed plan by recognizing the plan as a tool of management  even though it is not in state statute.  The legislation will give more flexibility to deal with unique needs.
