What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources provides aids to

nonprofit organizations for all-terrain vehicle (ATV) and utility terrain vehicle

(UTV) projects involving the production of maps and digital information

applications, acquisition of communications equipment, and the placement of safety

information signs.

This bill eliminates production of digital information applications and

acquisition of communications equipment as eligible local projects. The bill creates

a new appropriation to DNR from the conservation fund for the purpose of providing

support to nonprofit organizations that promote the operation of ATVs and UTVs by

1) acquiring and maintaining statewide digital information application software for

providing safety, regulatory, and riding opportunity information; 2) acquiring

communications equipment and technology; and 3) producing maps. The bill does

not appropriate any funds to DNR for this purpose.
