What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
Read the full summary Show less
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.
