HB 2573 - DIGEST

     Directs the interagency committee for outdoor recreation and the department of licensing to jointly contract with an independent entity to study the sources and determine the distributions and uses of funds provided to off-road vehicle and nonhighway road recreational activities under RCW 46.09.170.  The study must analyze and determine the relative portion of the motor vehicle fuel tax revenues deposited to the general fund under RCW 46.09.170 that are attributable to vehicles operating off-road or on nonhighway roads for recreational activities, and the types of facilities used.

     Requires the interagency committee for outdoor recreation to use available, credible, recreation participation data to establish an advisory committee that is proportionate to the number of people participating in the various recreation activities related to chapter 46.09 RCW.  The recreation participation data must be reviewed every five years, beginning January 1, 2005, to consider recomposition of the advisory committee.
