Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

Sec. 1. PL 1981, c. 343, §2,  as amended by PL 1985, c. 153, is further amended to read:

Sec. 2. Conveyance of land in Bridgton authorized. The Director of the Bureau of Public Lands is authorized to convey to the Town of Bridgton by quitclaim deed all rights, title and interest of the State in the parcel of land situated in Bridgton which is described in Public Law, 1971, chapter 622, section 144. All revenues received by the Town of Bridgton from the sale of currently developed and leased portions of the parcel described in section 1 shall be held in a permanent reserve fund for use by the town as follows: The income of the fund may be used for acquisition and development of other public lands of the town to provide for public access and use; for the acquisition or development of recreational lands; and for the maintenance and improvement of parks and recreational property of the town. The portion of the parcel described in section 1, not currently developed and leased and not sold by the town under this Act, shall be retained by the town for public use , except that the Town of Bridgton may convey nonwaterfront portions of the parcel described in section 1 if the town determines those portions have no identifiable public use and as long as all revenues received by the Town of Bridgton from any such conveyance are held in a trust fund for parks and recreational purposes of the town. Boundaries of existing leased lots may be expanded by the town to maximize compliance with the Maine State Plumbing Code , and the dimensional requirements of the Bridgton Shoreland Zoning Ordinance and to eliminate undersized rights-of-way that separate several of the existing lots. The town may grant easements to the unleased portions of the parcel described in this section for the purpose of sewage disposal.

Effective 90 days following adjournment of the 128th Legislature, First Regular Session, unless otherwise indicated.
