AN ACT

To amend chapter 8, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to use of public lands.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:

            Section A. Chapter 8, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 8.890, to read as follows:

            8.890. No resident of the United States shall be denied access to any public land owned, managed, or funded by the state of Missouri for the purpose of riding horses or mules that has been previously designated by the state as land upon which horses or mules may be ridden. Such access also shall not be denied to trails and roads, designated or undesignated, that have been historically used for horse or mule riding. Nothing in this section shall cause horses or mules to be excluded from inclusion in the development of new trails on Missouri public lands.
