What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill increases the amount of moneys appropriated from the conservation fund to the Department of Natural Resources for the all-terrain vehicle (ATV) safety program, under which DNR may provide funding to groups that promote the safe operation of ATVs.
Under current law, many programs administered by DNR, including the ATV safety program, are funded by appropriations from the conservation fund. Because federal and state law require that certain revenues deposited in the conservation fund be used exclusively for specified activities, DNR has administratively created numerous accounts within the conservation fund to allocate revenues to the required activities. Under this bill, if DNR maintains an administrative account that allocates moneys appropriated from the conservation fund to programs relating to ATVs, DNR is required to treat the amount appropriated to DNR for the ATV safety program as an allocation from the administrative ATV account.

This bill also expands the ATV safety program to include groups that promote the safe operation of utility terrain vehicles and requires DNR to annually determine the amount necessary to fund the program.
