EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   This bill repeals the Missouri river preservation and land use authority (authority).
   Currently, the authority exists to engage in comprehensive planning for and the development and implementation of strategies designed to preserve and restore the landscape adjacent to the Missouri river. The authority is required to work with interested parties in developing plans and proposals and conducting public hearings relating to the conservation, preservation, and acquisition of land adjacent to the Missouri river. The authority also administers the Missouri river preservation and land use fund in order to further the purposes of the authority.
   The bill repeals the authority and makes conforming changes to the Code. Upon the effective date of the bill, any moneys remaining in any account or fund under the control of the authority shall be transferred to the general fund of the state.
