What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the legislature may designate rivers as part of the state's

wild river system. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) administers the

system to preserve, protect, and enhance a river's natural beauty and unique

recreational value. This bill adds to the wild river system portions of the Totogatic

River. The bill also specifically allows DNR to authorize the removal of natural

obstructions in the river if needed for the growth of wild rice and allows for the

maintenance and replacement of piers and certain bridges and water crossings that

currently are in place on the designated portions of the river.
