Public Acts of 1963 Chapter 101

COMPILER'S NOTE: This is a special legislation that is not printed in the Tennessee Code Annotated.

Whereas, the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee in 1929 saw fit to appropriate funds through the Miscellaneous Appropriations Bill for the erection of a monument in Benton County to be known as the Forrest Memorial Park; and

Whereas, during the extra ordinary session of such General Assembly, a further appropriation was made and a Commissioner established by Chapter 31 of such extra session to manage such property; and

Whereas, due to its location at or near TVA lands adjacent to Kentucky Lake, which could be made available in conjunction with such memorial park, thereby providing ample lands for a regular state park a wonderful opportunity exists for development of a state park there at; now therefore

SECTION 1. That, the Forrest Memorial Park in Benton County, Tennessee be taken over by the Division of State Parks, of the State Department of Conservation and Commerce and developed as a part of the state park system.

SECTION 2. That Chapter 31 of the Public Acts of Tennessee, 1929, Extra Ordinary Session, and all other actions of the General Assembly whether by bill or resolution in conflict herewith, be and the same are hereby repealed.

SECTION 3. That, this Act shall take effect from and after its passage the public welfare requiring it.

Passed: March 12, 1963.
