Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill expands the categories of eligible expenditures from the Land for Maine's Future Fund to include improvements to land for recreational purposes, such as recreational and athletic fields. The Land for Maine's Future Board reviews and prioritizes proposals when deciding which projects to fund annually and will now have additional uses to consider.  No additional revenue is created by the bill.  Therefore, any expenditures for the new purpose will mean less expended on other purposes.
