To modify the funding distribution to the state park endowment fund and the State Parks Operational Fund

Summary

The bill requires that half of the royalties earned from leasing state‑owned gas, oil and other mineral rights beneath the Ohio River and its tributaries be used for operating, maintaining and improving state parks, forests and rail trails. Once the State Parks and Recreation Endowment Fund reaches a balance of $100 million, the split rises to 100 percent for those purposes. The change affects the endowment fund’s cash flow and the quality of public recreation facilities.
