| This bill proposes to provide reimbursement for road |
| maintenance to property owners in the unorganized territory. To |
| be eligible for reimbursement, a property owner must be a member |
| of an organized road association that has a road maintenance |
| plan, that maintains at least 4 miles of road and that permits |
| year-round recreational access to the public over roads |
| maintained by the association, including access to boat launches |
| and snowmobile trails. This reimbursement would be at a per mile |
| rate and based upon how many miles of road an association |
| maintains. A portion of the property taxes paid by these |
| property owners would be used to provide this reimbursement. |
