What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill expands the purposes for which the Department of Natural Resources

(DNR) may pay costs under contracts with public groups or persons who participate

in a statewide lake monitoring network. In addition to the costs that DNR is allowed

to pay under these contracts under current law, the bill allows DNR to pay the costs

of lake surveys and watercraft inspection and the costs of producing and distributing

lake survey results and reports.

This bill also allows DNR to use a portion of the funding currently appropriated

to DNR only for river protection grants to pay the costs incurred for activities

conducted under lake monitoring contracts.
