What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires the Natural Resources Board (board) to offer for sale at

least 10,000 acres of land that is owned by this state, that is under the jurisdiction

of the Department of Natural Resources, and that is outside project boundaries that

were established before May 1, 2013. The proceeds from the sale of the land is used

for the payment of principal on outstanding public debt incurred under the Warren

Knowles-Gaylord Nelson stewardship 2000 program. The board must offer the land

for sale on or before June 30, 2017.

This bill eliminates the requirement that the board sell the specified land.
