Rep. Morley Receives Award For SCR
On Friday, September 21 at an awards ceremony in Las Vegas, Rep. Mike Morley received an award on behalf of the State of Utah for the State Construction Registry. The Center of Digital Government named the State Construction Registry (SCR) the best Government-to-Citizen application in the state government category.
The SCR is an on-line bulletin board for the posting of construction notices. It provides transparency to all interested parties on commercial and residential construction projects, be they owners, contractors, banks, or title companies. The SCR protects lien rights and dramatically reduces the potential of owners being forced to pay both the contractor and subcontractors for the same work.
Originally conceived by Rep. Morley, the legislation creating the SCR was passed into law in the 2004 General Session. Staggered implementation took place in 2005 and the SCR became fully operational less than two years ago.
