Overview: Legislation (S.B. 28) to empower two or more contiguous counties to form regional authorities to establish new recreational trail systems and management programs tailored to the needs of their communities was approved by the West Virginia House and Senate. The bill would require that these authorities work with private landowners, county officials, community leaders, government agencies, recreational user groups and recreational entrepreneurs on these initiatives. The bill will next be sent to the governor for his signature and enactment into law.
