HB 2294 - DIGEST

(SUBSTITUTED FOR - SEE 1ST SUB)

     Finds that by providing expanded opportunities for participation by volunteers at recreation sites operated by the department of natural resources, the state will save money and be able to keep some recreation sites open that would otherwise close, and there will be expanded community service opportunities for youth groups, other civic organizations, and businesses.

     Requires the department of natural resources to conduct a periodic review of all of its recreation sites.  The review shall include an examination of the location of the recreation sites and a determination of the costs associated with the recreation sites.  The initial review of its recreation sites shall be completed by December 1, 2002.
