This bill authorizes state officials to enter into a 25-year lease with the town of Plymouth for the Pilgrim Memorial State Park, allowing the town to take over management of the land and facilities. Under the proposed agreement, the town would be responsible for daily maintenance, utility costs, and establishing user fees, while also being required to carry comprehensive liability insurance that names the state as a co-insured.
