Snowmobile aids for trail maps and grooming tracker
Under current law, state aid is available for snowmobile trail development, maintenance, rehabilitation, and signage. This bill expands the purposes for which this state aid may be used to include payment of a qualified vendor to provide real-time tracking of snowmobile trail grooming through DNR's online trail grooming reporting system (commonly known as the Snowmobile Automated Reporting System, or SNARS) and to develop and maintain an accurate, statewide geographic information system map of snowmobile trails.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
