The plan was to be submitted to the general assembly by July 1, 1988. The bill replaces that requirement with a requirement to submit to the general assembly a new long-term plan for the maintenance, protection, and acquisition of significant open space property throughout the state by July 1, 2024. DNR shall review the plan every five years and amend the plan as necessary. Current law requires the state department of transportation (DOT) to prepare a long-range plan for the acquisition, development, promotion, and management of recreational trails throughout the state. The plan was to be submitted to the general assembly by January 15, 1988.
