This bill authorizes the Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources to establish fees for nonmotorized recreational trail permits, which will be required for bicycle users on designated trails within state parks, historic sites, or recreation areas. The bill outlines the fee structure, allowing for an annual fee of up to $10 for Wyoming residents and $20 for non-residents, as well as a daily fee of up to $5 for all users. It also specifies that individuals under 18 years of age are exempt from needing a permit. The department is empowered to issue permits in various forms and is required to create rules for the implementation of this act.

Additionally, the bill establishes a nonmotorized recreational trails account, into which funds from permit sales will be deposited. This account will be continuously appropriated for the administration of the nonmotorized recreational trail program, with funds allocated for maintenance, construction, signage, educational programs, and infrastructure related to trail use. The department is tasked with promulgating necessary rules to implement the act, which will take effect immediately upon completion of legislative processes, with specific provisions of the act becoming effective on July 1, 2026.
