Repeal the Perkins County Canal Project Act and provide for the termination of the Perkins County Canal Project Fund
This bill proposes to end the Perkins County Canal Project by repealing the existing laws that created the project fund and authorizing the construction of a canal. It directs the state to transfer all remaining money and investment earnings from the fund into other state accounts, specifically the Property Tax Credit Cash Fund, the Economic Recovery Contingency Fund, the Museum Construction and Maintenance Fund, and the Inland Port Authority Fund. Additionally, the legislation requires a final study on the canal's costs, timeline, and environmental impacts to be completed and presented to the legislature before the fund is fully dissolved.
