The bill amends the Code of West Virginia by adding a new section, 20-17A-6, which mandates the Mountaineer Trail Network Authority to submit an annual report to the Joint Committee on Government and Finance. This report will detail the progress made towards the goals established in sections 20-17-1 et seq. and 20-17A-1 et seq. of the code, as well as provide information on grants that have been requested and received, and updates on other projects within the Trail Networks across the state.

The requirement for this annual reporting will commence on December 1, 2025. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and accountability regarding the activities and achievements of the Mountaineer Trail Network Authority, ensuring that stakeholders are informed about the development and funding of trail projects in West Virginia.
