The bill raises trail permit fees next season.
LANSING -- If you're a snowmobiler, get ready to pay more next season. A bill is on its way to Governor Granholm that would increase fees.
The State Senate approved the higher fees Thursday as a way to raise more money to maintain snowmobile trails. The state snowmobile program faces a one million dollar deficit next year.
Trail permits would rise from $25 to $35 next season, then increase to $45 for 2011 through 2015.
The three-year snowmobile registration fee would rise from $22 to $30, and the fine for operating a snowmobile without registration would quadruple to $200 on July 1.
