Summary

Allows such amounts to be used only for the area, site, or project concerned for: (1) backlogged repair and maintenance projects; (2) interpretation, signage, habitat, or facility enhancement; (3) resource preservation; or (4) annual operation, maintenance, and law enforcement relating to public use.
