MO HCR9

Urges the National Park Service to draft its final General Management Plan for the Ozark National Scenic Riverways recognizing both preservation of natural resources and recreational use and enjoyment.

Endorses the "No Action Alternative" previously announced by the National Park Service as the best balance to maintain the riverways' purposes, including continued hunting, fishing, and trapping except in highly developed safety zones.

Affirms that the riverways are public highways of Missouri subject to concurrent jurisdiction between Missouri and the federal government under Missouri Senate Bill No. 362 (1971).

States that Missouri is prepared to use its concurrent jurisdiction to ensure the balance between preservation and recreational use is maintained.

Directs the Chief Clerk of the Missouri House of Representatives to send inscribed copies to the National Park Service Director and the Ozark National Scenic Riverways Superintendent.
