SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

House Joint Memorial 12 requests the State Highway and Transportation Department (SHTD) cooperate with the federal Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service in the development and certification of properties for the creation of El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail.

Significant Issues

According to SHTD, certification and development of trail assets is strictly voluntary and initiated by the landowner. Additionally, this historic trail has already been created.

This trail only crosses highway right-of-way at a point in southern Dona Ana County. The department currently cooperates with the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service in many areas where the agencies have interests, including the Scenic Byways program.
