(SEE ALSO PROPOSED 1ST SUB)

     Finds that state agencies have acquired railroad corridors under the national trails system act to preserve railroad corridors for future railroad use and to provide interim trail use.  The legislature also finds that such railroad corridors are surrounded by privately owned properties, or contain easements across privately owned properties, and that the operation of the corridors can significantly affect these properties.  The purpose of this act is to establish minimum requirements for the management and operation of such corridors in order to protect privately owned property.
