Summary

Fort Monroe Authority Act; declaration of policy. Removes the requirement for the consent of both the Governor and the General Assembly in cases where real property interests in the Area of Operation at Fort Monroe are sold. The bill retains, however, the requirement that such sale may only be accomplished under covenants, historic conservation easements, or other appropriate legal restrictions approved as to form by the Attorney General that protect these historic and natural resources, and adds historic preservation easements to these conditions. The bill provides that insofar as the provisions of the Fort Monroe Authority Act are inconsistent with the provisions of any other law, general, special, or local, or parts thereof, the provisions of the Act shall be controlling. The bill provides that the Fort Monroe Master Plan shall be consistent with all preservation commitments and obligations agreed to by the Commonwealth, and further that the Plan shall be approved by the Governor before it becomes effective. The bill provides that properties in the Wherry Quarter and Inner Fort areas identified in the Fort Monroe Reuse Plan may only be sold with the consent of both the Governor and the General Assembly, except that any transfer to the National Park Service shall require only the approval of the Governor. The bill adds definitions of the terms "Fort Monroe Master Plan" and "State Memorandum of Understanding" and gives the Authority the power to exercise the Commonwealth's powers regarding the State Memorandum of Understanding. The bill also provides that the Authority is solely responsible for regulating the operation of golf carts and utility vehicles within the Area of Operation. Authority regulation shall provide that the operation of golf carts and utility vehicles is limited to Authority staff and contractors engaged by the Authority while such staff and contractors are conducting the official business of the Authority. By its terms, certain parts of the bill will not become effective until the completion of the Fort Monroe Master Plan, and it instructs the Authority's Executive Director to advise the Governor and others when the Master Plan is completed.
