AI Summary
This bill extends the annual closing date for Off-Highway Recreational Vehicle (OHRV) trails on the Connecticut Lakes headwaters working forest property from September 30 to Columbus Day (the second Monday in October). Specifically, the bill amends existing law to override any previous conservation easements, contracts, laws, or rules that might have restricted the trail access. The change will allow OHRV enthusiasts to continue using these trails for a longer period each year. The bill has a minimal fiscal impact, estimated at less than $10,000 annually, and will take effect immediately upon passage. The legislation was developed in consultation with the Fish and Game Department and the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, suggesting a collaborative approach to managing recreational access to this working forest property.
