BRC CALIFORNIA OHV FUND UPDATE:
Conference Committee keeps OHV money in OHV account, votes to increase non-OHV state park entrance fees by $15.
Dear BRC Alert Subscriber,
BRC wants to thank those folks in the OHV community who took time out of their busy schedules to send in letters to their elected state representatives regarding potential fiscal impacts to the California OHV Program.
OHV organizations and individual recreationists from throughout the state asked their legislators not to redirect the gas tax money to non-OHV state parks or other non-OHV-related programs or departments. Because of your efforts, the senate/assembly conference committee decided not to appropriate OHV trust fund money to subsidize non-OHV park costs.
According to a spokesperson for the Coalition for Public Access, the committee proposed that there be a $15 increase to the Motor Vehicle Account (MVA), which, unlike the Vehicle License fee - a personal property tax - is an actual fee.
Thanks again to all of you who decided to make a difference and be a champion for the California OHV Program. We’ll keep you updated of any potential shenanigans in Sacramento.
