Bill > HB1619

This bill requires the Missouri Department of Natural Resources to allocate at least 10% of any state or federal funding designated for the Rock Island Trail State Park specifically toward addressing concerns of landowners whose property is adjacent to the trail. These concerns include practical issues like agricultural fencing, creating safe crossings for agricultural equipment, managing drainage issues, installing appropriate signage, and improving overall safety and security along the trail's borders. By mandating this minimum financial commitment, the bill aims to proactively mitigate potential conflicts between the state park development and neighboring agricultural landowners, ensuring their operational needs and property interests are considered during the trail's implementation and maintenance.
