Existing law, the Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Act of 2003, creates the Division of Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation and requires the division to develop and implement a grant and cooperative agreement program for specified purposes, including to support the planning, acquisition, development, maintenance, administration, operation, enforcement, restoration, and conservation of trails, trailheads, areas, and other facilities associated with use of off-highway motor vehicles. Under existing law, eligible grant and cooperative agreement applicants include, among others, cities, counties, districts, state agencies, agencies of the United States, and federally recognized and state-recognized Native American tribes, as specified. This bill would expand eligible grant and cooperative agreement applicants to include special districts that employ sworn personnel, as provided.
