S 1830 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act establishing the Snowmobile Trail Maintenance Fund

This bill creates a new Snowmobile Trail Maintenance Fund in Massachusetts to support the grooming and repair of public snowmobile trails. The Secretary of the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs will manage the fund by contracting with a snowmobile safety organization to maintain trails, while up to 5% of the money can be used for administrative and law enforcement costs. The fund will be financed through donations, federal grants, trail-related fines, and interest earnings, with annual reports required to track income and spending. Additionally, any money left unspent at the end of a fiscal year will remain in the fund for future use rather than returning to the state's general budget.
