SB 679: Protecting state parks from non-park uses

In 2007, there were 122 proposed developments in 73 state parks. Like SB 372 (Kehoe), SB 679 (Wolk) addressed the increasing pressure on the state park system to accommodate non-park uses. SB 679 would have safeguarded state parks by ensuring that no land acquired for the state park system may be used for non-park uses without the express authority of an act of the legislature and without a plan to replace those park lands with lands of equal environmental and fair market value.
