House Committe on State Government

SYNOPSIS AS ENACTED

BACKGROUND:

The Interagency for Outdoor Recreation (IAC) was created in 1964 as a result of Initiative 215, the Marine Recreation Land Act.  It basically earmarked state unreclaimed marine gas tax to buy land and improve waterfront property for boating recreation.  Along with this money several bond issues have been passed to provide monies to the IAC to carry out its legislative mandate and an Off-Road Vehicle funding program has been developed.  The agency also administers the state's portion of the Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund grant monies.  To date, the IAC has participated in 1800 projects throughout the state using federal and state grant monies.

SUMMARY:

The Interagency Committee (IAC) is reauthorized to June 30, 1989.  The Governor's office is required, by January 1, 1989, to recommend to the Legislature whether the IAC should be located within an executive department or retained as a separate agency.
