An Act providing transparency for the Blue Hills Reservation Trust Fund
This bill requires the Department of Conservation and Recreation to move money from film and television production fees into the Blue Hills Reservation Trust Fund within 60 days of receiving it. It also mandates that the department submit a detailed financial report to the House of Representatives every quarter, outlining how much money the fund has, where that money comes from, and any rules on how it can be spent. These changes aim to increase transparency regarding the management and usage of funds dedicated to the Blue Hills Reservation.
