SB498

Senate Bill 498 amends the Building Authority Division Act by modifying the legal definition of an "unpaved trail project." The bill specifies that such projects must take place on property managed by the State Parks, Recreation, and Travel Commission or the Department of Parks, Heritage, and Tourism. Furthermore, it clarifies that these projects must either be for recreational use or necessary for the mission of the aforementioned state entities. Crucially, the bill mandates that all labor, services, and commodities required for these projects must be donated. This change streamlines the regulatory framework for volunteer-based trail maintenance and development on state-controlled lands.
