Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That Section 8A of Chapter 743 of the Acts of the General As-
sembly of 1965 be and it is hereby repealed, and that new Section
8A be and it is hereby enacted in lieu thereof, to stand in the
place of the Section 8A so repealed, to read as follows:

8A.

And be it further enacted, That where Federal funds may be
available to help accomplish any specific projects in this Act, the
using department or agency shall be obligated to seek the allocation
of such Federal funds to apply to the cost of the particular project.
In seeking approval of the Board of Public Works for award of a
contract under a specific appropriation under this Act, the using
Department or agency shall formally advise the Board of Public
Works that efforts have been made through proper administrative
procedures to obtain such Federal funds, and the reason, if any,
why the Federal funds were not obtained.

Availability of Federal funds where allocated is intended to de-
fray the cost of the approved project and not to expand its scope
except in the case of projects of the Department of Forests and
Parks. Where the latter projects may be expanded in scope beyond
that proposed in the specific appropriation in this Act if the addi-
tion of Federal funds makes this possible, but not beyond the total
park acreage or development contemplated for the State Park or
Recreation Area to which it applies, as indicated by the Master
Plan for State Parks and Recreation Areas as adopted by the De-
partment of Forests and Parks.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
June 1, 1966.

Approved April 29, 1966.
