Change provisions relating to the Water Recreation Enhancement Act
LB 480 amends Nebraska's Water Recreation Enhancement Act to authorize specific recreational infrastructure projects at three state locations: marina construction at Lake McConaughy and Lewis and Clark State Recreation Area, and an event center/lodge at Niobrara State Park. The bill grants the Game and Parks Commission authority to carry out these projects through public-private partnerships, contracts, and stakeholder engagement. It also requires the commission to avoid financial conflicts of interest in project-related property transactions. The legislation directly affects state agencies, local communities near these parks, and private entities partnering on recreational development.
