The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 69, aims to establish a separate, nonlapsing fund specifically designated for the maintenance of state trails by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP). This initiative is intended to provide financial support to ensure the upkeep and preservation of these trails, which are vital for public enjoyment and environmental conservation.
The bill introduces new legal language to amend the general statutes, creating this dedicated fund for trail maintenance. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text, indicating that this is a new provision aimed at enhancing the state's ability to manage and maintain its trail systems effectively.
