SOURCES OF INFORMATION
LFC Files
No agencies were contacted to analyze the bill because of the shortened time frame from when the committee substitute was introduced and moved to the Senate floor.
SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
The Senate Public Affairs Committee (SPAC) substitute for Senate Bill 835 makes an appropriation for $320.0 from the general fund to the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department to acquire the land in Roosevelt county known as Boone Draw. The bill directs EMNRD to follow the procedure outlines in the Natural Lands Protection Act. The bill carries a reversion clause.
Significant Issues
If the land in question is being proposed to be used as a state park, numerous criteria must be studied and met before the state may purchase the land.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
Aside from the appropriation, the bill should not have a significant fiscal impact on EMNRD.
POSSIBLE QUESTIONS
Why is the proposed land being purchased by the state? For use as a state park?
How many acres is the land in question?
