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.
