Bill > SF1324

This bill aims to protect land, water quality, aquatic life, and wildlife from the effects of using certain motorized recreational trails. It amends existing law to prohibit the use of off-highway vehicles on state land and county-administered forest land within state forests, except on designated roads and trails. The bill also requires the preparation of an environmental assessment worksheet before constructing or expanding off-highway vehicle trails, with some exceptions. Additionally, the bill directs the commissioner of natural resources to submit cost estimates and recommendations for amending statutes consistent with the rule changes. Finally, the bill repeals certain existing provisions related to off-highway vehicle use and forest land classification.
