RECREATION -- Amends, repeals, and adds to existing law to revise provisions regarding over-snow vehicles.

RECREATION

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Current Idaho law does not require non-motorized travelers to pay a fee to travel upon and play on groomed snowmobile trails during the over-snow season. Groomed snowmobile trails are a significant county expense, funded solely by trail user fees. Recent recreation developments have led to increased non-motorized use of groomed snowmobile trails by fat tire bikes, snow sleds and cross-country skiers. The purpose of this bill is to require non-motorized users of groomed snowmobile trails to buy a trail sticker. The cost of the sticker will be the same as that paid by snowmobiles and motorized vehicles. Fees collected would be distributed in the same manner as motorized sticker fees. This bill also allows the department to begin offering for sale a 2-year sticker, similar to as is provided for highway vehicles. The bill addresses other technical corrections in Idaho's snowmobile statutes.
