Bill > SB00069

This bill establishes a separate, nonlapsing fund specifically designated for the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) to support the maintenance of state trails. A nonlapsing fund means that any money allocated to this fund will not be returned to the state's general fund at the end of a fiscal year and can instead be carried over and used in subsequent budget periods. By creating this dedicated funding source, the bill aims to ensure consistent and reliable financial resources for trail upkeep and preservation, which can help maintain the quality and accessibility of Connecticut's state trail systems for public use. The bill appears to be a straightforward mechanism to provide targeted financial support for trail maintenance, addressing potential infrastructure and preservation needs for recreational trails managed by DEEP.
