Appropriates $15,546,575 to DEP from constitutionally dedicated CBT revenues for grants to certain nonprofit entities to acquire or develop lands for recreation and conservation purposes, and for certain administrative expenses.

This bill directs approximately $15.5 million from dedicated corporation business tax revenues to the Department of Environmental Protection for land conservation and recreation projects. The funds will provide grants to nonprofit organizations to purchase or develop land for open space, with specific allocations for land acquisition, park development, and stewardship activities. Additionally, the legislation allows the department to use leftover money from canceled projects to provide extra funding to previously approved initiatives, subject to oversight committee approval.
