Chamber:

Senate

Allows one city or district to form a recreational authority (not just two). Adds public forests and natural resource areas to what authorities may own and manage. They can buy state land, collect fees, set rules, do sustainable forestry, and sell carbon credits. Voters may approve up to a 1-mill tax for up to 20 years and bonds to fund parks, pools, centers, and forests. Board members can be paid if articles allow. If an authority ends, forest land must stay for that use or revert to the state.
