SF 2323: Relating to the inventory of lands managed or owned by the department of natural resources or a county conservation board, and including applicability provisions

What it does

This bill relates to the inventory of state lands managed or owned by the department of natural resources (DNR). In 2018, DNR was required to submit a report to the general assembly including all financial assistance provided to private entities for the acquisition of land and an inventory of all land managed or owned on behalf of the state by DNR. The bill requires DNR to maintain the inventory on DNR’s internet site and update the inventory within days of acquiring new property or acquiring a management interest in any property. The inventory shall include the common name, county, acres acquired, seller, year of acquisition, price paid, federal moneys used, state moneys used, county moneys used, and the manager of all land owned or managed by DNR or by a county conservation board.
