Bill > SB0051

This bill updates the statewide resource management plan by changing the reference date from January 8, 2024 to May 7, 2025, and making corresponding adjustments to the previous plan's date. The bill maintains the existing framework for how the state office responsible for the resource management plan operates, which includes monitoring government compliance with the plan, notifying the commission of potential modifications, and coordinating with the commission on policy direction. The office is required to prepare an annual report detailing recommended modifications and the plan's implementation across federal, state, and local levels, which must be delivered to the commission before August 31. The commission retains the ability to request additional information about modifications and can recommend that the Legislature approve or disapprove changes. Any modifications to the plan require legislative approval before taking effect. The bill specifies that these changes will take effect on May 7, 2025, essentially updating the state's resource management plan reference date and maintaining the existing procedural mechanisms for plan review and modification.
