What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law authorizes the state to incur pubic debt for certain conservation

activities under the stewardship program, which is administered by the Department

of Natural Resources. The state may incur this debt to provide funding to acquire

land for the state for conservation purposes and may also use the funding to award

grants or state aid to certain local governmental units and nonprofit conservation

organizations to acquire lands for conservation purposes (stewardship funding).

This bill prohibits the expenditure of stewardship funding if the expenditure

is for an acquisition that will result in an adjacent landowner not having access to

the landowner's land or that will result in the landowner having to pay for an

easement access to the landowner land.
