This bill amends the existing law regarding the annual closure date for Off-Highway Recreational Vehicle (OHRV) trails on the Connecticut Lakes headwaters working forest property. Specifically, it introduces a new section, RSA 215-A:3-c, which stipulates that, despite any conservation easement provisions or other conflicting laws, the OHRV trails in this area will remain open until the second Monday in October, which coincides with Columbus Day.
The bill effectively extends the previous closure date, allowing for an additional period of access to these trails for recreational use. The new legal language inserted into the law clarifies the extended closure date, while no specific legal language is deleted from current law. The act is set to take effect immediately upon its passage, which is approved for July 31, 2025.
