Voters would have the final say on whether to launch the plan.
The legislation is an initiative of Gov. Kay Ivey and would pay for renovations of campgrounds, cabins, and other facilities at Alabama’s 21 state parks, which are under the control of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
The bill would set aside $5 million for historical sites and historical parks under the jurisdiction of the Alabama Historical Commission.
