This bill aims to amend the existing legislation regarding the Greater Huntington Park and Recreation District by allowing the Cabell County Board of Education to provide financial support to the park district through special and excess levies. Specifically, it changes the language from "shall" to "may," indicating that the Board of Education has the option to allocate these funds rather than being mandated to do so. This amendment is intended to enhance the financial resources available for the maintenance and operation of the park district.

In addition to this key change, the bill outlines various provisions related to the Park Board's authority to charge fees, impose service fees, issue revenue bonds, and levy taxes on property within the district. It establishes a framework for how these fees and levies are to be implemented, including requirements for voter approval and the manner of collection. Overall, the bill seeks to ensure adequate funding for the park district while providing flexibility for the Board of Education in contributing to its financial support.
