SB 1063 Allocation of funds from Virginia Land Conservation Fund.
Introduced by: Frederick M. Quayle | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Allocation of funds from the Virginia Land Conservation Fund. Provides that the Virginia Land Conservation Foundation may make direct (rather than matching) grants from the Virginia Land Conservation Fund to counties and municipalities. The bill eliminates the requirements that (i) a public body jointly hold an interest in land with a private holder where the holder acquires an interest in land as a result of a grant or transfer from the Foundation and (ii) a public body hold an open space easement whenever a private holder acquires a fee simple interest in land as a result of a grant or transfer from the Foundation. The bill also provides that 25 percent of the unrestricted funds in the Fund are to be distributed to the Open-Space Lands Preservation Trust Fund and that the remainder is to be distributed in a manner that the Board of Trustees of the Virginia Land Conservation Foundation deems most appropriate to bring about goals of the Fund.
