SCS/HCS/HB 250 - The act prohibits the denial of access to trails and roads on state-owned or state-managed public land for the purpose of riding a horse or mule when equestrian use has been up to that point a permissible use on such trails or roads. The act allows such trails or roads to be closed to equestrian use only when conditions are determined not suitable due to public safety, necessary maintenance, or conflict with the mission of the land-managing agency. 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
