Bill Summary
An Act to provide for prescribed burning of state-owned land by a person owning adjoining land and to declare an emergency.
AI Summary
This bill allows individuals who own land bordering state-owned land along the Missouri River to conduct prescribed burns on that state-owned land, provided they first submit a written request to the relevant state department or commissioner. This request must specify the purpose of the burn (controlling woody species and managing grasslands), describe the lands involved, and state the intended timeframe. If the state official grants written consent, it acts as authorization for the burn, and the landowner is responsible for having adequate resources for fire suppression, complying with existing laws, and assuming all liability for the burn, while the state is protected from any resulting damages. The bill also declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval, to support state government and its institutions.
