This bill aims to amend the existing legislation governing 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 stating that the Board of Education "shall" provide these funds to "may," thereby giving the Board discretion in funding decisions. This amendment is intended to enhance the financial resources available for the maintenance and operation of the park district.

In addition to the changes regarding the Board of Education's funding responsibilities, the bill outlines various mechanisms for the park district to generate revenue, including the imposition of service fees, the issuance of revenue bonds, and the collection of levies on property within the district. The bill also specifies the requirements for public approval of service fees and bond issuances, ensuring that the community has a say in the financial decisions affecting the park district. Overall, the bill seeks to strengthen the financial framework supporting the Greater Huntington Park and Recreation District.
