Emergency Extension Request
(3675)
Action:
State Forest Regulations Fee Establishment
(6166)
Stage:
Emergency/NOIRA

On 3/28/2013 the board requested that this emergency stage be extended until 3/19/2014.

Reason for Extension:
Department of Forestry is continuing to collect information that will be valuable when making amendments to all or most of the sections of the State Forest regulations, including fees. The agency has not completed this background work or a draft to submit for the initial executive review. However, the agency is currently engaged in this process. The fees are an important source of revenue for offsetting operational costs for the recreational services provided by the State Forests, whose budgets are totally dependent upon revenues generated from the State Forests. We request the extension to just maintain the authority to keep the $15 user fee in place until the full regulatory amendments can be completed and approved.

This request expired without being granted.
