The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 169, seeks to authorize the issuance of state bonds to fund the purchase of Camp Laurel and the rehabilitation of the dam located in Lebanon. The bill empowers the State Bond Commission to issue bonds not exceeding a total of four hundred thousand dollars, with the proceeds designated for use by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection for these specific purposes.
The bill does not contain any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to facilitate the bond issuance process. The primary aim of the legislation is to secure funding for the acquisition and improvement of Camp Laurel and the associated dam, thereby enhancing local environmental and recreational resources.
