What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law authorizes the state to incur public debt for land conservation

activities under the Warren Knowles-Gaylord Nelson Stewardship 2000 Program,

which is administered by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). In addition

to this stewardship program, the state was authorized to incur public debt for land

conservation activities under the original stewardship program that began in 1990

and ended in 2000. Under these programs, the state itself may acquire the land, or

interests in land, or DNR may award grants or other state aid to certain local

governmental units, the Kickapoo Reserve Management Board or other nonprofit

conservation organizations for land conservation activities.

This bill requires DNR to make available, for a fee, a written directory of all land

acquired under both stewardship programs (stewardship land) that is open to the

public. Also, DNR must make available a list of all stewardship land acquired before

October 27, 2007, for which public access has been prohibited or restricted and the

reasons for the prohibition or restriction. For stewardship land acquired on or after

that date, current law requires landowners to post signs that notify the public which

activities are permitted, restricted, and prohibited on the land. The directory and

list must be completed within two years after the bill becomes law.
