What’s in it

AI summary The Department of Natural Resources would only be allowed to get new land if the owners choose to sell or donate it freely. This rule prevents the department from forcing people to give up their property. Additionally, the department cannot take land from a nonprofit organization that originally won that land through a competition or an auction.1

Read the official explanation

This bill restricts the acquisition of real property by the department of natural resources (DNR). The bill authorizes DNR to only acquire property through willing donors and sellers, who shall not be under the compulsion of DNR. DNR also shall not acquire property from a nonprofit that acquired property in a competitive manner, including at an auction.
