The bill amends the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (1994 PA 451) by updating the definitions within Section 1901. It introduces new legal language to clarify the meaning of "local unit of government or public authority," which now includes "recreational authority" and specifies that such authorities are established under the Recreational Authorities Act of 2000. This addition aims to enhance the understanding of entities eligible to provide public recreation services.

Additionally, the bill reaffirms the definitions of the Michigan natural resources trust fund board, the Michigan state parks endowment fund, and the trust fund itself, ensuring consistency with existing legal frameworks. The enactment of this amendment is contingent upon the passage of related legislation, specifically Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 4694 from the 103rd Legislature.
