LB480 amends Nebraska §37- 1802 and §37-1803 by expanding the scope of potential projects which can be carried out under the
Water Recreation Enhancement Act to include:
1) Niobrara State Park projects which would increase recreational opportunity and the enjoyment of the park; and
2) Lake McConaughy SRA and/or Lewis and Clark SRA
possible infrastructure projects identified to improve water access and
recreational opportunities within the SRA areas.
The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC) has indicated there is no fiscal impact from this bill.
There is no reason to disagree with NGPC ’s estimation.

Explanation of Estimate:
The proposed legislation expands the projects eligible at Niobrara State Park, Lewis and Clark State
Recreation Area, and Lake McConaughy State Recreation Area to use the funds from Water Recreation Fund.
The projects must increase recreational opportunity at those locations.
The funding amount or sources of the projects does not appear to be changing via this bill. That would mean
no change is expected to our current budgeted revenues or expenditures.
