Natural Resources - Development of Abandoned Railroad Corridors - Proof of Title

This bill requires the Maryland Department of Natural Resources to verify that the state owns railroad corridor property in fee simple through a title search before developing it for recreational use. It amends existing laws to clarify procedures for acquiring and using abandoned railroad corridors for trails, including requirements for public hearings and coordination with other state agencies. The legislation applies specifically to the Department of Natural Resources when it plans to convert abandoned rail corridors into public recreational spaces.
