Bill > H848

This bill aims to promote the sustainability of snowmobiling in Massachusetts. It makes several key changes, including: increasing the membership of the Outdoor Advertising Board to include representatives from the Snowmobile Association of Massachusetts; expanding the definition of "recreational land" under state law to include snowmobiling; establishing an annual "free snowmobile weekend" where non-residents can operate snowmobiles on public and private trails without a Massachusetts registration; and prohibiting the operation of wheeled motor vehicles on designated snowmobile trails, with certain exceptions. The bill also directs the state's law enforcement and environmental agencies to work with the Snowmobile Association to establish a policy for allowing snowmobile use on recreational trails during periods of sufficient snow cover.
