A bill has been introduced in the Maryland Senate to establish a permanent Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) trail fund for the purpose of maintaining and constructing OHV trails on land owned or leased by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. There is no current fund for this purpose. If enacted, 0.5% of the excise tax collected when titling an OHV would be deposited in the fund. The bill is currently in the Senate Committee on Budget and Taxation.
