What SB 563 does, verified December 7, 2025

This bill aims to amend the state parks regulations to expand the list of eligible applicants for grants and cooperative agreements. Currently, eligible applicants include cities, counties, districts, state agencies, and federally recognized and state-recognized native American tribes. The proposed amendment would add special districts that employ sworn personnel to this list. This expansion would provide more opportunities for these districts to access funding for trail development, maintenance, and other park-related activities.
