This 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. The report will detail the progress made towards the goals established in sections 20-17-1 and 20-17A-1 of the code, as well as provide information on grants that have been requested and received, and updates on various projects within the Trail Networks across the state.

The requirement for this annual reporting will commence on December 1, 2025, ensuring that the Authority is held accountable for its activities and progress in enhancing the recreational trail network in West Virginia. This initiative aims to improve transparency and oversight of the Authority's operations and contributions to the state's outdoor recreation infrastructure.
