What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill appropriates $150,000 of general purpose revenue and requires the

Department of Natural Resources to allocate that money in the 2019-21 fiscal

biennium to Ashland County to design, implement, and evaluate not more than three

demonstration projects that test natural flood risk reduction practices in that county.

The bill provides that allocated money may be used for engineering and design,

materials, construction, pre-construction and post-construction monitoring, and

project management. Under the bill, DNR must require Ashland County to submit

a report no later than June 30, 2021 summarizing the results of its demonstration

projects, and DNR must submit to the legislature and to the Division of Emergency

Management in the Department of Military Affairs a report summarizing the results

of the demonstration projects and recommendations for how existing state policies

or funding streams could be adapted to create incentives to protect and restore

natural infrastructure and reduce floods.
