SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
The House Energy and Natural Resources Committee Substitute for House Bill 640 extends an
appropriation of $1.7 million made in Subsection 55 of Section 5 of Chapter 114 of Laws 2004
to the State Parks Division (SPD) for the nonrecurring capital costs associated with the expan-
sion of five existing state parks and costs associated with building four new parks. In addition to
the extension, the bill sets aside $250 thousand to pay for the capital equipment and operational
expenses at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
In addition, SB578/SCONCS appropriates $204.2 thousand from the General Fund to SPD to
pay for the operations at the proposed Vietnam Veterans memorial state park.
Both of the expenditures for operational costs are contingent on SPD acquiring ownership of the
property.
