An Act creating the outdoor recreation program
This bill establishes a new Outdoor Recreation Trust Fund in Massachusetts to support recreational programs, planning, and projects. It creates the Office of Outdoor Recreation to administer the fund and defines key terms such as "underserved communities" and "recreational use" to guide its operations. The primary mechanism is dedicating all state sales tax revenue from sporting goods stores directly to this fund, ensuring the money remains separate from the general state budget. Additionally, the fund is authorized to accept public and private donations to further outdoor recreation goals, with a specific focus on equity for historically underserved populations.
