     (2)  Inserting an amount of $500,000 for the Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of State Parks to contract with the counties for county lifeguard services at designated state beach parks under an agreement between the State and a county, which shall be appropriated out of the Special Land and Development Fund, rather than the Tourism Special Fund; and

 

     (3)  Changing its effective date to July 1, 2018.
