Federal park operations; temporary funding.

Abstract

Temporary funding of federal park operations. Authorizes the Governor to provide funding and execute necessary agreements to allow the temporary operation of any Virginia property controlled by the National Park Service in the event of a federal government shutdown. Such authority shall be contingent on the U.S. Department of the Interior executing an agreement which authorizes the Commonwealth to operate such property. The bill states that the funds may come from the State Park Conservation Resources Fund, voluntary donations, funds allocated to the Department of Conservation and Recreation, or other sources. However, the bill clarifies that no funds originally allocated from the general fund shall be used to operate a federal park for more than 21 days without the approval of the General Assembly.

A BILL to amend and reenact ยง 10.1-202 of the Code of Virginia and to amend the Code of Virginia by adding a section numbered 10.1-201.1, relating to the temporary funding of federal park operations. 24102583D
