CHAPTER 540

(Senate Bill 597)

AN ACT concerning

Program Open Space - Allocations for Fiscal Year 1983

FOR the purpose of designating Program Open Space projects
to be funded under the Outdoor Recreation Land Loan of
1969 during fiscal year 1983; resolving any possible
doubt about the validity and effectiveness of this
designation which might arise from a conclusion that it
is a contraction of State debt requiring in the same
law a provision for collection of an annual tax or
taxes to cover principal and interest payments on that
debt; restricting the use of funds for certain land
acquisitions under Program Open Space under certain
conditions; and relating generally to the Outdoor
Recreation Land Loan of 1969.

BY repealing and reenacting, without amendments,

Chapter 403 of the Acts of the General Assembly

of 1969, as repealed and reenacted, without
amendments, by Chapter 631 of the Acts of 1981

Section 6 and 7

BY adding to

Chapter 403 of the Acts of the General Assembly

of 1969
Section 11Q
Section 11Q and 11R

(To follow immediately after Section 11P, as added by
