An Act authorizing the Department of General Services, with the approval of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Governor, to grant and convey to the White Birch Golf Course and Restaurant, certain lands situate in Rush Township, Schuylkill County.
SB 236 authorizes Pennsylvania's Department of General Services to transfer a specific 500x100-foot parcel of state park land in Tuscarora State Park (previously used as a customer parking lot) to the White Birch Golf Course and Restaurant for a symbolic $1. The land transfer requires approval from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Governor, and must include a condition prohibiting the use of the property for licensed facilities like bars or casinos, with title reverting to the state if violated. The bill describes the property via a 1989 land use agreement and specifies that the grantee bears all associated costs. This is a procedural land transfer bill with no new policy creation, directly affecting the golf course as the recipient and the state as the grantor.
