AI summary This amendment allows the department of natural resources to use up to $1,000,000 to repair and maintain housing for employees living in state parks, preserves, and forests. It also ensures that any leftover money from this specific funding does not expire at the end of the fiscal year and can be used later. Additionally, it requires the department to provide housing for employees if it existed as a residence on January 1, 2022, and mandates an annual report to the general assembly regarding the status and cost of these residences.1
