HB 1164 Land Conservation Foundation.
Introduced by: David B. Albo | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Virginia Land Conservation Foundation. Increases the number of members of the Foundation's Board of Trustees so that there will be one per congressional district, plus the Secretary of Natural Resources and six members appointed from the Commonwealth at large. Allocations of money in the Virginia Land Conservation Fund, which is administered by the Foundation, are altered so that 25 percent of the money in the fund will be transferred to the Open-space Lands Preservation Trust Fund. The Board of Trustees is directed to seek assistance in developing grant criteria from a task force consisting of natural resources agency heads. The State Treasurer is removed from the Board. The bill also clarifies that the Foundation may provide direct (rather than matching) grants to state agencies, transfer lands to other entities that will hold them for conservation purposes, and dispose of money or other property given or bequeathed to it. If a private entity acquires an interest in land as a result of a grant or transfer from the Foundation, the interest must be held jointly by the private entity and a government entity. Up to $250,000 per year of the interest generated by the Fund may be used for the Foundation's administrative expenses. The Department of Conservation and Recreation is directed administer Foundation lands, and state agencies are directed to cooperate with the Foundation. The bill also directs the Foundation to attempt to achieve a fair geographic distribution of lands protected.
