            The Senate unanimously approved Senate Bill 974.  The measure would amend the “Conservation and Natural Resources Act” (Act 18 of 1995) to clarify the terms of lease agreements with the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

A new section would be added to the law stating that in the event that the department decides to close or restrict access to a state park or state forest, it would make an exception for individuals who have entered into a lease agreement with the department prior to the effective date of the legislation.
