This bill amends section seven of chapter 26 of the Acts of the Legislature, specifically concerning the Greater Huntington Park and Recreation District. It allows the Cabell County Board of Education to provide funds to the park district through special and excess levies, changing the language from "shall" to "may," thereby giving the board discretion in funding. The bill outlines various financial mechanisms for the park district, including the ability to charge fees for services and goods, impose additional service fees subject to voter approval, and issue revenue bonds, all aimed at supporting the maintenance and operation of the park system.

Additionally, the bill details the levies that can be imposed by various governing authorities, including the county commissions and the City of Huntington, to support the park district. It specifies the rates for different classes of property and establishes procedures for the collection and disbursement of funds. The legislation also allows for the issuance of public park and recreation bonds by municipalities and counties to finance park-related projects, ensuring that the Park Board can effectively manage and operate the park system with adequate funding.
