The bill amends the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act of 1994 by updating the definitions used within the legislation. Specifically, it introduces the term "recreational authority," which refers to an authority established under the Recreational Authorities Act of 2000. This addition expands the definition of "local unit of government or public authority" to include recreational authorities alongside counties, cities, townships, villages, and school districts, thereby enhancing the scope of entities eligible to provide public recreation.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that it will not take effect unless certain other legislative measures, specifically Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 4694, are enacted into law. This conditional enactment ensures that the amendments are part of a broader legislative framework, reinforcing the interconnectedness of state laws regarding natural resources and public recreation.
