| 15 | 15 | | certain nearby businesses along snowmobile trails on Department of Natural |

|---|
| 21 | 21 | | if the club does so under an agreement with DNR. Under the bill, DNR must enter |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | into such an agreement with an interested club. The bill provides that a sign is |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | eligible if it advertises only businesses that offer fuel, food, vehicle servicing, or |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | lodging and that are accessible by snowmobile; it is placed only at a trail intersection; |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | it contains only the name of the business, the type of service provided, the distance |
|---|
| 26 | 26 | | to the business, and an arrow showing the direction to the business; it meets all other |
|---|
| 27 | 27 | | requirements for snowmobile guide signs; and it is erected and maintained by the |
|---|
| 28 | 28 | | club. The bill prohibits DNR from charging a fee as a condition of entering into such |
|---|
| 29 | 29 | | an agreement. |
