AN ACT CONCERNING FUNDING FOR SECURITY AT GARDNER LAKE STATE PARK IN THE TOWN OF SALEM.

HB 5836 appropriates funds from the state General Fund to reimburse the Town of Salem for security costs at Gardner Lake State Park. The bill directly affects Salem town (as the recipient of reimbursement) and Gardner Lake State Park (the location receiving state police security). It provides a specific grant to cover the cost of state police officers providing security at the park for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. This is a straightforward funding mechanism with no new policy requirements or substantive changes.
