This bill, titled the University of Utah Research Park Act , aims to legally confirm the ongoing use of specific non-Federal land by the University of Utah. It explicitly validates the University's use of approximately 593.54 acres in Salt Lake City as a research park, a use originally approved by the Secretary of the Interior in 1970. The legislation affirms that this research park, along with any modifications and other related university purposes such as student housing and a transit hub , constitutes a valid public purpose. These uses are deemed consistent with the requirements of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act of 1926 , under which the land was originally conveyed to the University in 1968. The bill ensures the continued legal clarity and stability for the University's development and management of this significant property.
