State parksOn Monday, March 26, the Senate approved HB 2362 (state parks revenue fund) by a unanimous vote of 28-0, sending it to the Governor's desk. Sponsored by Rep. Karen Fann (R-Prescott), the bill creates a new fund for operation and maintenance of the state park system. The fund would be composed of private donations, revenue from fees and sales, and legislative appropriations. The measure also permits the State Parks Board to acquire and develop real property and improvements, subject to review by the Joint Committee on Capital Review.On Thursday, March 29, Governor Brewer vetoed HB 2362. It was her second veto of the year. In her veto letter, the Governor did applaud the bill sponsor and emphasize that the State Parks Department is working with Rep. Fann on potential improvements to the legislation to avoid unintended consequences. |
