Summary

The bill gives Kentucky’s Department of Parks full administrative control over state parks, shrines, monuments and museums, and lets it acquire land, build facilities, set and collect fees, and enter agreements such as with the Breaks Interstate Park Commission. It prohibits any boat launch fees at ramps the department controls and bars private operators from charging such fees, and it exempts graduates of the PGA HOPE program from green fees (except cart rentals) when they show a valid card. The changes also allow the department to accept grants, set up separate cash funds for refunds and gratuities, and issue regulations to implement these provisions.
