SB 198 - Current law permits the Department of Natural Resources to enter into cooperative agreements with non-profit organizations that provide cooperative, interpretive, or educational services to a state park. This act adds facility enhancement to the list of permissible activities for a cooperative agreement. The act allows the Department to provide incidental staff support to an organization with which the Department has a cooperative agreement. Cooperative agreements created under this act must require the non-profit organizations to submit documentation demonstrating the fiscal, interpretive, educational, and facility enhancement benefits to the state. Additionally, cooperative organizations must reimburse the Department for actual costs of park facility space and staff support provided to the organization. Proceeds from the sale of any services provided under a cooperative agreement must be used by the cooperative organization for interpretive or educational services in state parks. This act is identical to SB 1038 (2006). ERIKA JAQUES
