Historic Roadways Protection Act

This bill, titled the Historic Roadways Protection Act , restricts the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Bureau of Land Management, from obligating or expending federal funds for specific land management activities in Utah. The primary purpose is to halt the finalization and implementation of certain travel management plans within the state. The prohibition applies during an "applicable period" that begins upon the bill's enactment and continues until the Secretary certifies to Congress that a defined list of R.S. 2477 cases have been adjudicated. These cases involve various counties in Utah and the State of Utah versus the United States, likely pertaining to historic rights-of-way. Specifically, the bill prevents funding for new travel management plans in ten designated "covered travel management areas" across Utah. It also prohibits the implementation of four existing travel management plans: the Indian Creek (Canyon Rims), San Rafael Desert, San Rafael Swell, and Labyrinth/Gemini Bridges Travel Management Plans.
