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 contribute funds to the park district through special and excess levies. The current law states that the Board of Education "shall" provide these funds, but the proposed amendment changes this to "may," giving the Board discretion in providing financial support. This change is intended to enhance the funding mechanisms available to the park district, ensuring it has adequate resources for maintenance and operation.

In addition to the amendment concerning the Board of Education, the bill outlines various financial provisions for the park district, including the ability to charge fees for services, impose additional service fees subject to voter approval, and issue revenue bonds. The bill also specifies the levies that can be imposed by local governing authorities, including the county commissions and municipalities, to support the park district. Overall, the legislation seeks to improve the financial framework for the Greater Huntington Park and Recreation District, thereby enhancing its operational capabilities.
