                           BY RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE
                                                                        
  1                                        AN ACT
  2    RELATING TO THE OFF-ROAD MOTOR  VEHICLE  ACCOUNT;  AMENDING  SECTION  57-1901,
  3        IDAHO CODE, TO PROVIDE A CONDITION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR CERTAIN GRANT FUNDS.
                                                                        
  4    Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
                                                                        
  5        SECTION  1.  That  Section 57-1901, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
  6    amended to read as follows:
                                                                        
  7        57-1901.  CREATION OF OFF-ROAD MOTOR VEHICLE ACCOUNT -- PURPOSE. There  is
  8    hereby created and established in the state treasury an account to be known as
  9    the  "off-road  motor vehicle account" to which shall be credited or deposited
 10    all moneys accruing for the purposes of the account. The  purposes  for  which
 11    moneys  in  the  account  may  be used shall be to acquire, purchase, improve,
 12    repair, maintain, furnish, and equip off-road  motor  vehicle  facilities  and
 13    sites  or  areas  used  by off-road vehicles on public or private land, and to
 14    assist with the enforcement of laws and regulations governing the use of  off-
 15    road  vehicles in the state of Idaho. The park and recreation board is charged
 16    with the administration of the account for the purposes specified herein. Pro-
 17    vided however, that in order to be eligible  for  any  grant  for  off-highway
 18    vehicle  programs funded by the "off-road motor vehicle account," an applicant
 19    must have in place an adequate regulatory program, as determined by the direc-
 20    tor and the park and recreation board pursuant to  guidelines  established  by
 21    rule,  to ensure that natural resources are not damaged by intended use of the
 22    area for which the grant is being obtained. The provisions of section 67-4228,
 23    Idaho Code, are made applicable for the provisions of this section. All claims
 24    against the account shall be examined, audited and allowed in the same  manner
 25    now or hereafter provided by law for claims against the state, except that the
 26    board  is  hereby  empowered  to enter into agreements with legal governmental
 27    agencies in Idaho, for the disbursement of funds to them on a project by proj-
 28    ect basis.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

	             STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                          RS 11905

	As use and horsepower of off-road vehicles increases, 
reports of erosion and other resource damage are increasing.
This proposal is intended to insure that recipients of off-road 
vehicle grants from the Department of Parks and Recreation have 
adequate regulatory programs in place to minimize such damage.


                       FISCAL IMPACT



	The only impact will be staff time to evaluate grants to 
insure that the recipient meets the requirements of the law.
