An Act To Ensure Adequate Funding for Conservation Districts
 
CONCEPT DRAFT
This bill is a concept draft pursuant to Joint Rule 208.
This bill proposes to create a voluntary checkoff to allow owners of snowmobiles registered pursuant to the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 12, section 13104 and ATVs registered pursuant to Title 12, section 13155 to indicate that a portion of the registration fee be used to provide funding to soil and water conservation districts and the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
Currently, $5 of the registration fee for snowmobiles is transferred to a special fund and used to assist any entity that has a snowmobile trail-grooming contract with the the Department of Conservation, Bureau of Parks and Lands in the purchase of trail-grooming equipment.
