Bill > S01466

This bill amends the parks, recreation and historic preservation law to require the state parks office to develop and post a comprehensive senior trail guide on its website. The guide will specifically focus on walking and hiking opportunities for active seniors aged 62 and older within the state park system and along public non-motorized multi-use trails. The trail guide must include detailed information such as identifying low-impact trails that are appropriately accessible for older adults, listing potential mobility impediments like steep inclines or uneven terrain, and highlighting corresponding activities or nearby points of interest such as birding areas, geological sites, or historical locations. The parks office is required to periodically update the trail guide to ensure its continued relevance and usefulness. The bill will take effect 180 days after becoming law, giving the parks office time to develop and implement the new guide.
