Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.
This bill eliminates the Natural Areas Program within the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry and transfers its responsibilities to the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. It establishes a Natural Areas Conservation Fund and defines terms like "invasive species," "natural area," and "rare plant." The bill also updates the duties of the Bureau of Resource Management to include managing plants and natural areas, and invasive species.
