House kills bill limiting access to waterways
House kills bill limiting access to waterways
March 3rd, 2009 @ 8:35pm
SALT LAKE CITY -- The Utah House has killed a bill that would have limited public access to river and stream beds.
House Bill 187, sponsored by Rep. Ben Ferry, R-Corinne, would have granted public access to only 19 sections of Utah waterways for recreational use.
"This victory shows what we can accomplish when we work together," said Ted Wilson, executive director of the Utah Rivers Council.
Ferry wanted to limit access because of complaints from landowners along waterways who say they didn't want fishermen on their land. He says the 19 sections were chosen based on year-round steady water flow.
The House voted to kill the bill 41-34 on Tuesday because lawmakers worried the list would continually have to be adjusted.
GOOD JOB HOUSE!!!

Don't talk unless you can improve the silence.
The trout do not rise in the cemetery, so you better do your fishing while you are still alive. SGH

Man. I'm all for homeowners property rights, but punish those people, an I'm sure there are some, who abuse the access, not everyone.

actully it's starting to make more sense. and i like version 3 alot better then the first one.
we have to ride it out for 5 more days...
if i remember right, if it passes it still has to go on to the senate and they have to repeat the process. thats alot to do in a short amount of time. lets hope they don't rush it.
