An Act to provide for housing within the Manuel F. Correllus State Forest

This bill amends state law to allow the Department of Conservation and Recreation to provide a specific house within the Manuel F. Correllus State Forest on Martha's Vineyard to the forest superintendent free of charge. If the superintendent does not live there, the department must make the same house available to other employees who care for the forest under identical terms. The legislation directly affects the state agency managing the forest and its staff by formalizing access to existing housing without cost.
