2025 Regular Session - Day 21 - HB 808, Rep. Ken Upchurch

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I ask the clerk to report House Committee Sub 1. Clerk, please report. House Committee Substitute 1 to House Bill 808. Gentleman from Wayne. Move for its adoption. Motion is for the adoption of House Committee Substitute 1. Is there any discussion of the committee substitute? Seeing none, those in favor signify by voting aye. Aye. Those opposed, nay. House Committee Substitute 1 is adopted. Gentleman from Wayne. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. House Bill 808 as amended by the House Committee Substitute is a work of Dream Big Burnside in Pulaski County, Kentucky, concerning Burnside Island State Park. The committee sub establishes the Burnside Island Development Authority, which will enhance recreation and tourism on General Burnside Island State Park. BIDA, which it will be known as, is created as an independent municipal corporation and political subdivision attached to the Department of Local Government for administrative purposes. Its mission is to develop, finance, operate, maintain, and promote lodging, restaurant facilities, and recreational amenities to boost economic development and tourism on Burnside Island. I'd be happy to answer any questions. There are none. I'd move for passage of House Bill 808 as amended by House Committee Sub 1.
