This bill amends section 37-342 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to the legislative approval process for incorporating land into the state park system. The key change allows the Nebraska Legislature, or the Executive Board of the Legislative Council when the Legislature is not in session, to approve an indication of intent to incorporate land or facilities owned by local governmental subdivisions into the state park system. This ensures that any such incorporation is subject to legislative oversight, thereby enhancing accountability.
Additionally, the bill requires the commission to provide an estimated fiscal impact of the proposed incorporation to the Legislature or the Executive Board. This includes details on how the costs will be funded, specifically whether they will be covered by cash funds or require General Fund appropriations. The original section 37-342 is repealed, streamlining the legal framework governing these processes.
