Description

Amendment 617 to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as Section 213.32 of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended, provides for the issuance and sale of general obligation bonds of the State of Alabama for the purpose of the acquisition, provision, construction, improvement, renovation, equipping, and maintenance of the State Park System, public historical sites and public historical parks. All state park system land and facilities must be exclusively and solely operated and maintained by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

This proposed amendment would except the operation of state park land and facilities at those state parks which offer overnight lodging accommodations to transients, or a golf course, or both, from the requirement to be exclusively and solely operated and maintained by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
