History: 1967 act referred to federal funds received for benefit of state subdivisions rather than “for planning, acquisition and development projects relating to outdoor recreation and natural resources”, and reversed status of separate account, excluding it from general fund where previously it was included in general fund, deleted provision re power of commissioner of agriculture and natural resources to disburse funds and gave power of all disbursements, rather than of disbursements “to municipalities” to commissioner of finance and control; Sec. 22-7c transferred to Sec. 22a-23 in 1972 and internal references to other transferred sections were revised; P.A. 77-614 replaced commissioner of finance and control with secretary of the office of policy and management; P.A. 88-1 repealed provision requiring disbursement from federal funds to be in accordance with procedures established by secretary of the office of policy and management; P.A. 88-364 made a technical change.
