84.0875 ENVIRONMENTAL LEARNING CENTERS.
The commissioner may acquire and better, or make grants to counties, home rule charter
or statutory cities, or school districts to acquire and better, residential environmental learning
centers where students may learn how to use, preserve, and renew the natural resources of this
state. A facility and reasonable access to it must be owned by the state or a political subdivision
but may be leased to or managed by a nonprofit organization to carry out an environmental
learning program established by the commissioner. The lease or management agreement must
comply with the requirements of section 16A.695 and must provide for the procurement of
liability insurance by the nonprofit organization. A nonprofit organization that is operating an
environmental learning center under this section is a municipality for purposes of the liability
limitations of section 466.04 while acting within the scope of these activities.
