This bill requires the state Department of Game, Fish and Parks to get specific approval from the legislature before building new campgrounds or adding camping sites to existing ones, rather than allowing the department to make those decisions on its own. Currently, the department can construct recreational facilities in state parks if it gets approval from the Governor and commissioner of administration, but this bill removes campgrounds and camping sites from that authority and moves that decision-making power to the legislature.
