What’s in it
PROGRAM. This bill creates a restore the outdoors program (program) under the management of the department of natural resources (DNR). The program is to finance certain projects at existing state parks and other existing public facilities managed by DNR. The projects must be for major repairs or major renovations of existing infrastructure unless new construction is justified on the basis of either an increase in demand or that the major repair or renovation would not be cost effective. DNR must submit an annual report to the governor and general assembly detailing past expenditures used to finance completed or ongoing projects and planned expenditures to finance future projects.
