SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Virginia Land Conservation Foundation. Renames the Virginia Conservation and Recreation Foundation, Fund and Board of Trustees as the Virginia Land Conservation Foundation, Fund and Board of Trustees, and requires that unrestricted moneys in the Fund be allocated equally among the following uses: natural area protection, open spaces and parks, farmlands and forest preservation, and historic area preservation. The bill also allows moneys in the fund to be used for matching grants to localities, public bodies and nonprofit organizations for purchasing interests in land for land conservation purposes. Matching grants for natural area protection require a recommendation from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, based on specific criteria. This is a recommendation of the Commission on the Future of Virginia’s Environment. This bill is identical to HB1747.
