Text

§ 45-36.1-4. Restrictions applicable to municipal public trust land. 
Once a city or town dedicates property it holds as a public trust land,  the land
            shall be perpetually protected from conversion to a use other than the use for which
            it was originally obtained and development that is inconsistent with its primary purpose
            as a recreation, open space, and natural resource land of the state and as a natural
            environment for the people of the state. Acceptable uses of the land so dedicated
            shall only be those that perpetuate outdoor recreation, open space benefits, and natural
            resource conservation on the land.
