What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer

Protection (DATCP), in consultation with the Department of Natural Resources

(DNR), to prepare a report on pollinators, including an overview of the status of

important pollinator species in this state and threats to their viability and a

legislative proposal for creating and enhancing pollinator habitat. The bill requires

DATCP, in consultation with DNR, to develop, and describe in the report, best

management practices for the management, creation, and restoration of pollinator

habitat and for agricultural practices that enhance the health of pollinator

populations. DATCP must submit the report to the legislature no later than July 1,

2016.

The bill also requires DNR to consider pollinator habitat creation and

conservation in managing land under its management or control.
