Relates to the appropriation to the Department of Parks and Recreation for fiscal years 2023 and 2024.

This bill includes fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2024 appropriations and transfers for the Department of Parks and Recreation, and provides for a total transfer of $95,000,000 from the General Fund to the Parks and Recreation Fund. Firstly, the bill includes a fiscal year 2023 appropriation and transfer of $85,000,000 from the General Fund to the Parks and Recreation Fund for deferred maintenance, capital projects, and collaborative interagency projects. Of this appropriation, $70,000,000 is for deferred maintenance; $10,000,000 is for capital projects; and $5,000,000 is for inter-agency collaborative projects. Secondly, the bill includes a fiscal year 2024 appropriation and transfer of $10,000,000 from the General Fund to the Parks and Recreation Fund for additional capital projects. Finally, as transferred funds are deposited in the Parks and Recreation Fund, a dedicated fund within the Department of Parks and Recreation, this bill also provided an appropriation for the Parks and Recreation Fund so the agency has sufficient authority to spend the fund's balance.
