What’s in it

This bill relates to the issuance of a natural resource use permit (permit). The bill authorizes the director of the department of natural resources (DNR) to issue up to permits each year that authorize economic development projects (project) to use or encroach on property managed or owned by DNR. A project must promote the natural resources of the state. A project’s use or encroachment shall not exceed 100 square feet of the property managed or owned by DNR. A permit is valid for six months and cannot be extended.

Read the full explanation

A project shall not damage the property and evidence of the use or encroachment shall not be visible on the property after one year from the expiration of the permit. By operation of law, a person who violates a permit issued under the bill is subject to civil enforcement procedures, including penalties, adopted by the environmental protection commission.
