End of section 1 - "...All trailways and other areas on state owned land that, prior to this date, were available for use by pack and saddle animals shall be reopened and made accessible..." Is there a list somewhere of what used to be open? I'm thinking state forests, state game areas, what about just state owned land that doesn't have any special designation? How far back are we talking because obviously at some point last century there were no restrictions against saddle animals. I don't think we should be riding at state museums or cultural centers though. Shouldn't it refer in some manner to undeveloped land or designated recreational land?

It's just my opionion,  but it is my understanding that with any piece of pending Legislation, that HB 4610 will probably under go changes to the language before it is brought to a vote. As far as an actual list of what was open I am not aware of any but it could be researched.  I personally don't think I would want to ride at any state museums or

cultural centers unless it was for a historic celebration.  We will all have to  do our part and write our representatives and senators  to see that this bill passes with enough teeth to assure our "Right to Ride "on trailways and other areas on state lands.
