Title 286 - RECREATION AND CONSERVATION OFFICE (RECREATION AND CONSERVATION FUNDING BOARD)
Chapter 286-13 - General grant assistance rules
Section 286-13-115 - Nondiscrimination, access to the public, and preferences

(1) Sponsors shall not discriminate against users of projects assisted with board funds on the basis of race, creed, color, sex or gender, religion, national origin, disability, marital status, or sexual orientation.

(2) Properties, structures, and facilities intended for public use within the project area shall meet state and federal accessibility guidelines and nondiscrimination laws, regulations, and policies; be maintained to a standard that encourages use; and be open and available to the public at reasonable hours and times of the year.

(3) Sponsors shall not express a preference for users within the project area of board grant assisted projects on the basis of residence (including preferential reservation, membership, and/or permit systems). However, reasonable differences in admission and other fees may be maintained on the basis of residence. The board does not encourage the imposition of such differential fees. Fees for nonresidents must not exceed twice the fee imposed on residents. Where there is no fee for residents but a fee is charged to nonresidents, the nonresident fee shall not exceed the amount that would be imposed on residents at comparable state or local public facilities.
