AI Summary

This bill amends the Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development Act, which is a law governing how money is used for acquiring and developing open spaces. The key provision is that any money held within the "Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development Fund" can no longer be moved, or "appropriated, assigned, or transferred," to any other fund within the State. This means the money in this specific fund is now protected and can only be used for its intended purposes related to open space projects, regardless of other existing laws that might have allowed such transfers in the past. The bill also states that these changes take effect immediately upon becoming law.
