Under current law, a person who owns a snowmobile that is not registered in this state or is exempt from registration must display a trail use sticker issued by DNR on the snowmobile. The fee for this sticker is $35. Current law also requires DNR to calculate an amount equal to the number of trail use stickers issued by DNR in the previous fiscal year multiplied by $15 and to credit this amount to an appropriation account that funds aids to counties for activities such as trail development and maintenance. This bill increases the amount by which DNR must multiply the number of trail use stickers from $15 to $32 for purposes of determining the amount to be credited to this appropriation account.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section
1. 350.12 (4) (bg) 2. of the statutes is amended to read:
350.12 (4) (bg) 2. For fiscal year 2001-02, and for each fiscal year thereafter, the department shall calculate an amount equal to the number of trail use stickers issued under sub. (3j) in the previous fiscal year multiplied by $15 $32 and shall credit this amount to the appropriation account under s. 20.370 (5) (cw). From the appropriation account under s. 20.370 (5) (cw), the department shall make payments to the department or a county for the purposes specified in par. (b). The department shall make payments under par. (bm) for trail maintenance costs that were incurred in the previous fiscal year and that exceed the maximum specified under par. (b) 1. before making payments for any of the other purposes specified in par. (b).
