Fiscal Detail and Notes
	The bill authorizes the Director of the Bureau of Parks and Lands within the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry (ACF) to gift the state property known as John Paul Jones Memorial Park to the Town of Kittery. This property must continue to be used and managed for noncommercial governmental purposes as a public park. In the event the property is used otherwise, title to the property automatically reverts to ACF. The State Parks Commission valued this piece of land at $30,750 in 1954. This property has never generated any revenue to the State. ACF indicated that there will be minor savings when Kittery takes over the park and pays the park's electricity bills.
