This resolve directs the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife to study the distribution of gasoline tax revenue for nonhighway recreational vehicle programs as described in the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 36, section 2903-D. The department must invite the participation of interested parties identified by the department. The study must explore changing the distribution of gasoline tax revenues among programs supporting the various types of recreational vehicles so that those programs are supported proportionately based on the number of registrations of each type of recreational vehicle. The department must submit a report and any recommended changes to the distribution of gasoline tax revenue for nonhighway recreational vehicle programs to the Joint Standing Committee on Inland Fisheries and Wildlife no later than December 6, 2023. The committee may report out legislation related to the report to the Second Regular Session of the 131st Legislature.
