March 3. 1998 Agricultural Prices Prices received by Utah farmers and ranchers during were down for all milk, barley, and hay, according to the Utah Agricultural Statistics Service. January sheep prices were up compared to last year, while lamb prices were by Representative Beverly Ann Evans The 52nd Legislature is running full steam as we come into the final stretch of this legislative session. The loose ends and remaining critical decisions will all be taken care of in just four short days. Until the clock strikes midnight on Wednesday legislators will be working frantically to get done all of the work that will impact Utah for the next year. Here is a sample of some ofthe items that have been and will e covered during these final two at weeks. Transportation funding was one ofthe major issues facing the members in the Joint Executive Appropriations Committee late Wednesday night. The powerful committee agreed that $560 million be distrib- uted among highway projects throughout the state. The committee tentatively funded the second construction and allotyear of ted a portion of the total package to cover the potential $230 million shortfall in the budget. The massive Centennial Highway Project list was allotted $110 million dollars out of the General Fund, allowed for an additional $190 million in bonding, and provided a 50 million dollar cushion in the event that Federal dollars for the project fall through. The Legacy Highway also took up a good portion of the debate. The highway, which still lacks a definite construction site, squeaked by with a $27 million dollar allowance. Citizen Initiatives may be made more difficult to get on the ballot if a bill by Representative Michael Styler is enacted. The bill would make it extremely difficult to put a citizen initiative concerning restrictions on hunting or fishing on the ballot Opponents of the bill feel that it would unnecessarily restrict voter rights. Utahs Property Tax could become a little more home owner friendly if representative John Valentines HB 370 passes the Senate. In its simplest form, HB 370 would complete a long awaited property tax shift from home owner taxpayers and corporate taxpayers. Although many corporate taxpayers feel this measure is unfair to business, the bill only enemy appears to be the legislative clock. Senate for consideration. Oil & Gas Severance Amendments, HB 58, by Representative Beverly Evans is a bill which would extend the severance tax now allotted for work overs on oil and gas rigs for an additional six years. This translates into thousands of jobs and hundreds of dollars for rural communities that rely heavily on these severance taxes. The extension also grants protections to the environment by giving the oil and gas drilling companies incentives for doing work overs on sites, making sure that each area is exhausted before moving on to another site. This cuts waste and unnecessary drilling. The bill has passed both houses and requires only the governor's signature to become law. Wildlife licensing fees, HB 45, by Michael Styler was one of the first bills out ofthe gates this legislative session. Representative Stylet's bill, which has already passed both houses, will raise fees for fishing, small game, and falconry licensing in order to provide additional services in those areas. A combination license will be increased $3 for those 12 and over, and fishing license will increase by $2, small game will increase $1, and falconry licenses will d go up $5. The increases will be into fish hatcheries, acquiring pen raised birds, and for the capture and transplant of upland game species.
