Summary

The bill requires a hiking permit for anyone walking on groomed state trails, sets adult and child fees, and lets the department issue permits directly, through appointed agents, or via a contracted automated system. It also authorizes a conservation card as electronic proof and directs all collected fees to a specific appropriation account. The goal is to fund trail upkeep and improve permit tracking.
