An Act To Support The Maintenance Of Historic Fort George In Castine

This bill amends a larger legislative act to change how funding for historic site maintenance is provided, specifically affecting the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry. Instead of creating a permanent annual appropriation, the bill directs the State Controller to transfer up to $18 million from the General Fund's unappropriated surplus at the end of the 2024-25 fiscal year. These funds are designated for the ongoing maintenance, preservation, and promotion of historic sites, with Fort George in Castine being the primary focus of the original legislation. The transfer is intended to occur only after all other legally required financial obligations and transfers have been completed.
