Summary
Trail Responsibility and Accountability for the Improvement of Lands Act of 2003 - Amends the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, the National Park Service Organic Act, the National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of 1966, and other Federal law to classify as a Class B misdemeanor a violation of any regulation concerning the management, use, and protection of National Park System lands, National Forest lands, and other public lands. Classifies as a Class A misdemeanor (subject to a higher fine and/or imprisonment) the knowing and willful violation of any such regulation. Authorizes the adjudication of persons who commit such a violation to pay all costs of the proceedings. Requires fines collected as the result of this Act to be made available to: (1) cover the costs of improvement, protection, or rehabilitation of the public lands rendered necessary by such violation; and (2) increase public awareness of regulations and other requirements concerning public land use.
