2005 House Bill 5453 ↩

House Roll Call 53: Passed

To require that when the Department of Natural Resources evaluates state forest acreage for purposes of management activities, it must put up for timber sale all acreage meeting silvicultural criteria designed to maximize forest economics and forest growth except for acreage restricted from harvesting under state or federal law, or by requirements necessary to maintain certification with sustainable forestry standards. The DNR would be prohibited from adding additional "factor limitations" on harvests with its own administrative rules.
