SB 5003 - DIGEST |
Finds that the last major state funding dedicated for state parks' capital improvements occurred in the early 1970s and, as stewards of the future, it is necessary once again to dedicate revenues to restore and renovate our park system, ensuring that future generations may enjoy the same first-rate public park system as prior generations. |
Declares an intent to create the state parks and recreation commission centennial 2013 account from which funds shall be used to eliminate the parks' maintenance backlog and complete the critical renovations identified in the state parks and recreation commission's centennial 2013 plan. |
Appropriates the sum of one hundred sixty-five million dollars, or as much thereof as may be necessary, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008, from the general fund to the state parks and recreation commission centennial 2013 account, created in this act, for the purposes of this act. |
