1/3/2024, 7:45 PM

This bill adds Moab and Monticello to the list of places where court must be held in the Central Division of the U.S. District Court of Utah.

Bill 118 hr 2910, also known as the "Central Utah Courts Act," aims to amend title 28 of the United States Code to allow for court proceedings to be held in Moab and Monticello in the Central Division of Utah. Currently, court proceedings for this division are held in Salt Lake City, which can be inconvenient and costly for residents of the more rural areas of Moab and Monticello.

The bill seeks to address this issue by authorizing the holding of court in these two locations, making it more accessible for residents in the Central Division of Utah to participate in legal proceedings. This change would not only save time and money for individuals who would otherwise have to travel long distances to attend court hearings, but it would also help to ensure that justice is more easily accessible to all residents of the region.

Overall, the Central Utah Courts Act aims to improve the efficiency and accessibility of the legal system in the Central Division of Utah by allowing court proceedings to be held in Moab and Monticello. This change would benefit residents of these areas by making it easier for them to participate in legal proceedings without having to travel long distances to do so.
