The Utah Quality Growth Commission was created in 1999 and worked from 2000 on to conserve nearly 100,000 acres of critical lands in Utah through the LeRay McAllister Fund. HB 305, Natural Resource Revisions, (J. Ferry), repealed the commission, effective July 1, 2022. Functions of the commission will be overseen by the new Land Conservation Board, staffed by the Division of Conservation at the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food.
