Subject: | Devise of a Pennsylvania State Forest Camp Lease |
In the near future, I plan to introduce legislation that amends the Conservation and Natural Resources Act, further providing that state forest camp leases may be devised by operation of a lessee's will. This legislation establishes procedure for the transfer of such a lease to the devisee. In cases where the devisee is a non-resident of Pennsylvania, this bill empowers the Department to establish a non-resident annual rental fee and prohibits non-resident devises from selling or assigning such leases to subsequent non-residents of the Commonwealth. This provision ensures that these campsites will be returned to the Department for use by Pennsylvania residents. I believe that it is important to provide our constituents the flexibility to bequeath these campsite property interests to their heirs. Please join me in cosponsoring this important piece of legislation. |
