Bill > SR98

This Resolution requests the Governor to verify that all entities leasing state public lands are in good standing, meaning they have fulfilled all their financial, contractual, and legal duties, and to prevent the state from entering into new leases or renewing existing ones with any individual, corporation, or public agency that has not met these obligations. The resolution highlights that, similar to private landlords, the state should ensure its lessees are compliant, citing examples of entities like the Department of Defense, the U.S. Navy, the Defense Logistics Agency, and Monsanto Company for alleged unmet financial obligations, inadequate environmental maintenance, and criminal activity, respectively, which have impacted the state and its environment.
