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 a portion of the

Brunsweiler River and requires that this portion of the river be known as the "Martin

Hanson Wild River." The bill also specifically allows for the maintenance or

replacement of piers and a boat landing and for the maintenance of a dam, that

currently are in place on the designated portion of the Brunsweiler River.
