An Act To Support The Maintenance, Preservation And Promotion Of State Historic Sites
This bill transfers $18 million from the state's unappropriated General Fund surplus to the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry's Parks program. The funds are specifically designated for the ongoing maintenance, preservation, and promotion of Maine's state historic sites. The transfer occurs as a priority at the close of the 2024-2025 fiscal year, after all other required budget transfers and deductions. This is a funding mechanism, not a new policy, directly affecting state historic site operations managed by the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry.
