2005 House Bill 5453 ↩

Senate Roll Call 387: Passed

To require the Department of Natural Resources to evaluate 10 percent of the state forest acreage each year to determine how it should be managed, and require it to 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.
