MacKenzie environmental center
Under current law, moneys are appropriated to the MacKenzie environmental center biennially from the general fund (MacKenzie appropriation). A biennial appropriation is expendable only for the biennium for which made. Current law allows DNR to charge fees to participants in a DNR environmental education program to cover the costs of the program, and requires such fees collected by DNR for the use of the MacKenzie environmental center to be deposited in the general fund and credited to the MacKenzie appropriation.
This bill changes the MacKenzie appropriation to a continuing appropriation, which is an appropriation that is expendable until fully depleted or repealed by subsequent action of the legislature. Under this bill, the MacKenzie appropriation is still funded by all moneys received from fees collected for the use of the MacKenzie environmental center.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
