2003 House Bill 5027 ↩

Senate Roll Call 561: Passed

To revise the distribution of revenue from annual snowmobile registration fees so as to eliminate a requirement that a fixed proportion of the money must go each year for local trail development and improvement. Instead, the amount would be determined by the Department of Natural Resources, with input from a state Snowmobile Advisory Committee. The bill would also cap the amount granted for local enforcement of snowmobile regulations, and reduce the local matching funds required for such grants. The net effect would be a reduction in the amount granted for local enforcement grants, and an increase in the amount for trail development and improvement projects by local governments and nonprofit groups.
