1. That § 10.1-202 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 10.1-202. Gifts and funds for state parks to constitute Conservation Resources Fund; concession fees.
Gifts of money, entrance and concession fees, fees from
contractor-operated concessions, and all funds accruing from, on account
of, or to the use of state parks acquired or held by the Commonwealth
Department shall constitute the Conservation Resources Fund. The
Fund shall be under the direction and control of the Director and may be
expended for the conservation, development, maintenance, and operations of
state parks acquired or held by the Commonwealth Department.
However, expenditures from the Fund for operation of state parks shall not
exceed, in any fiscal year, an amount equal to twenty-five
thirty-three percent of the revenues deposited into the Fund from fees and
charges paid by visitors to state parks. The remainder of the revenues
deposited into the Fund from fees and charges paid by visitors to state parks
shall be expended for the conservation and development of state parks.
Revenues generated from state park concessions operated by the Department shall
be deposited into a separate special fund for use in operating such
concessions. Unexpended portions of the Fund shall not revert to the state
treasury at the close of any fiscal year unless specified by an act of the
General Assembly. The Fund shall not include any gifts of money to the Virginia
Conservation and Recreation Foundation or other funds deposited in the Virginia
Conservation and Recreation Fund.
2. That the provision of this act which requires that expenditures from the Conservation Resources Fund for operation of state parks not exceed, in any fiscal year, an amount equal to thirty-three percent of the revenues deposited into the Conservation Resources Fund from fees and charges paid by visitors to state parks shall expire on July 1, 1998, and thereafter, expenditures for this purpose from the Conservation Resources Fund shall not exceed, in any fiscal year, an amount equal to twenty five percent.
