| 11 | + | AN ACT to create 350.12 (4) (bg) 3. of the statutes; relating to: modifying |

| 12 | + | administrative rules related to supplemental aid for snowmobile trail |
|---|
| 13 | + | maintenance and granting rule-making authority. |
|---|
| 14 | + | Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau |
|---|
| 15 | + | Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources provides aid to |
|---|
| 16 | + | counties for the development, rehabilitation, and maintenance of snowmobile trails. |
|---|
| 17 | + | State aid covers 100 percent of the actual cost of maintaining a trail but is limited |
|---|
| 18 | + | to $300 per mile per year. In addition, a county is eligible for supplemental aid if the |
|---|
| 19 | + | actual costs incurred by the county for trail maintenance in the previous fiscal year |
|---|
| 20 | + | exceeded the $300-per-mile maximum and the county spent at least $200 per mile |
|---|
| 21 | + | on the grooming of trails. |
|---|
| 22 | + | Current administrative rules promulgated by DNR limit supplemental aid to |
|---|
| 23 | + | a county to an amount that is three times the per-mile maximum. This bill provides |
|---|
| 24 | + | that DNR may, by rule, limit the amount of supplemental aid to an amount that is |
|---|
| 25 | + | five times the per-mile maximum and modifies DNR rules to establish that limit. |
|---|
| 26 | + | For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be |
|---|
| 27 | + | printed as an appendix to this bill. |
|---|
| 28 | + | The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do |
|---|
| 29 | + | enact as follows: |
