Generally revise accessibility laws related to trails/roads
SB 533 would establish a $5 non-transferable "Nonambulatory Motorized Recreation Pass" for people with permanent mobility disabilities to use motorized equipment (like wheelchairs) on state-managed recreational trails and roads. It requires medical certification from a physician, classifies all public trails into three accessibility categories (Class I: fully accessible, Class II: partially accessible, Class III: inaccessible), and mandates the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks to post trail classifications. Violations like using equipment without the pass would incur fines up to $250. The bill died in committee in May 2025 and did not become law.
