Full Analysis
H.R. 8666, signed into law as Public Law 118-250 on January 4, 2025, amends 28 U.S.C. §125 to add 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. The bill was sponsored by Rep. Celeste Maloy (R-UT-2) and passed both chambers by voice vote with minimal debate. The legislation is purely procedural—it changes the geographic locations for federal court sessions in one judicial district. It authorizes no spending, creates no new programs, imposes no regulations, and provides no tax incentives. There is no funding mechanism, no procurement opportunity, and no compliance burden for any private sector entity. The bill's impact is limited to the U.S. Courts administrative budget, which is funded through separate appropriations. No publicly traded company has any revenue exposure to the location of federal court sessions in rural Utah. The bill's passage was uncontroversial and completed in under seven months from introduction to enactment.
