HCS/HB 250 - The act prohibits a person from being denied access to state-owned or state-managed public land for the purpose of riding a horse or mule when such person has lawful authority to use the land. Similarly, no person shall be denied access to trails or roads currently used by horse or mule riders on public land, except where conditions are determined not suitable due to public safety, maintenance, or conflicts with the missions of the Departments of Natural Resources or Conservation. In such cases, a sign must be posted at the trailhead stating the cause and estimated duration of the closure. This act is similar to SB 1198 (2008), HB 1438 (2008), and HB 354 (2007). ERIKA JAQUES
