Sponsor:  Representative Gabaldón, LD 2

House Engrossed

Overview

Appropriates $250,000 from the State Parks Revenue Fund (SPRF) to the Arizona Trail Fund in FY 2021. 

History

The Arizona Trail is a state scenic trail that extends approximately 800 miles between Arizona's southern and northern borders.

The Arizona Trail Fund is administered by the Arizona State Parks Board (Board) and consists of legislative appropriations and donations. Fund monies are continuously appropriated for the Arizona Trail's upkeep, which can include:

1) planning and preserving the trail;

2) providing information on uniform development, maintenance and preservation to those involved in planning, establishing, developing or maintaining the trail;

3) encouraging counties and municipalities to adapt their plans to preserve the trail right-of-way and acquire property or legal interests in property to ensure the trail stays in a permanent location;

4) preparing a trail management plan and a plan for interpretive markers;

5) coordinating the Board's trail plan with federal, state and local activities and land uses that may affect the trail and with private nonprofit organizations; and

6) accepting gifts and grants of private and public monies for deposit into the Fund (A.R.S. § 41-511.15).

SPRF is administered by the Board and receives revenue primarily from admission and camping permits, entry fees, other education fees, and other permits. Monies in this fund are used to operate and maintain the state park system and to acquire and develop real property for this system (A.R.S. § 41-511.21).
