What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources provides aid to
counties for the development, rehabilitation, and maintenance of snowmobile trails.
State aid covers 100 percent of the actual cost of maintaining a trail but is limited
to $300 per mile per year. In addition, a county is eligible for supplemental aid if the
actual costs incurred by the county for trail maintenance in the previous fiscal year
exceeded the $300-per-mile maximum and the county spent at least $200 per mile
on the grooming of trails.
Current administrative rules promulgated by DNR limit supplemental aid to
a county to an amount that is three times the per-mile maximum. This bill provides
that DNR may, by rule, limit the amount of supplemental aid to an amount that is
five times the per-mile maximum and modifies DNR rules to establish that limit.
