HB3654 amends the Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development Act to prioritize grants for projects in distressed communities and locations. Distressed communities and locations are defined by specific criteria, such as high poverty rates or high unemployment rates. The bill sets limits on the amount of grants that can be allocated to these areas. It also repeals the requirement for the Department of Natural Resources to prepare a Distressed Local Government Report and removes certain definitions. The bill allows for emergency rulemaking to facilitate the implementation of these changes.
