	Fiscal Note Required: Yes
Preliminary Fiscal Impact Statement
Minor cost increase - Other Special Revenue Funds
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill clarifies that 7% of the revenue from all day use and camping fees collected by the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry (ACF) shall be shared with all municipalities that have lands classified by ACF as parks or historic sites within their respective boundaries. ACF will collect no additional revenue as a result of this clarification.  However, because the fee revenue will be distributed among a larger pool of municipalities than before, some municipalities may see an increase in their shared revenue and others may see a decrease in their shared revenue.  Any additional costs to ACF as a result of this change are expected to minor and can be absorbed within existing resources.
