What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Natural Resources, under its statewide

program to control invasive species, to award up to $100,000 in each fiscal year in

grants to local governments or American Indian tribes or bands that have declared

wild parsnip to be a noxious weed for projects on public or private land to map,

control, eradicate, monitor, and minimize the spread of wild parsnip. The bill allows

a grant recipient to collaborate with a regional conservation organization on a project

funded by the grant.

The bill appropriates $50,000 in each fiscal year in the 2019-21 fiscal biennium

to the Bureau of Natural Heritage Conservation.
