Natural Resource Camp Pilot Program Act of 2026; establish for students in Lee and Monroe counties.
HB 474 establishes a three-year pilot program for students in Lee and Monroe counties to learn about environmental stewardship, including soil, water, plants, animals, air, and land ownership. The program, administered jointly by the county boards of supervisors, will teach students the importance of maintaining a healthy environment and the economic value of property ownership. It requires annual reports to the legislature detailing participation, costs, effectiveness, and recommendations for expansion, with implementation beginning July 1, 2026, subject to available funding. The bill does not create permanent funding but sets a framework for evaluating the program's potential statewide adoption.
