Generally revise accessibility laws related to trails/roads
This bill revises Montana's recreational trail and road access laws to create a special pass for individuals who cannot walk or traverse paths safely without assistance. It requires the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks to categorize all public trails into three classes based on accessibility for motorized wheelchairs and establishes a $5 nontransferable recreation pass for people with permanent physical or mental disabilities who use motorized equipment. The pass allows unlimited use of state recreational trails and roads where motorized equipment is permitted, with fees deposited into a dedicated account and application requiring physician certification of nonambulatory status. The bill also sets specific penalties for violations, including fines for failing to display the pass or making false statements during application.
