§ 2726 Land Funding Priority Rules

This law says that money used for certain lands can't be tied up or restricted until the Wildlife Conservation Board decides there's little chance of getting matching funds from another chapter.

Key Takeaways

  • •Funds for eligible lands cannot be encumbered until the Board makes a determination.
  • •The Board looks at whether funds are likely to be available under Chapter 7.
  • •If the Board decides funds are unlikely, the encumbrance can proceed.

Example

A state agency wants to buy a forest to protect wildlife using special funds.

The agency must first check if the same land could also receive money from Chapter 7. If it could, the agency can't put a hold on the funds until the Board decides the other chapter probably won't provide money for that land.
