BILL NUMBER:S6219
Title of bill
An act to amend the parks, recreation and historic preservation law, in relation to requiring all leases, licenses and management agreements relating to state parks and historic sites to comply with the park's or historic site's master plan
Purpose or general idea of bill
Requires certain leases and management agreements entered into by the office of parks, recreation and historic preservation to comply with master plans.
Summary of specific provisions
Every lease, license and management agreement, relating to the use or management of any state park or historic site, having a term of more than one year, entered into by the office shall comply with the recommendations in the management or master plan of the state park or historic site to which the lease, license or management agreement pertains.
Justification
Management and master plans are valuable tools that outline specifics regarding the environmental, historic, cultural, scenic, interpretive, and recreational resources of a park or historic site. They also provide a future plan and goals for each of the different aspects of a park or historic site and offer the public an opportunity to comment. Tying long-term leases and agreements to the planning goals outlined in the master or management plans gives structure and a framework for what types of activities should be permitted in a park setting and holds such activities accountable to the established plan.
