Bill > SB0044

This bill updates the state's statewide resource management plan by changing the date of the current plan from May 7, 2025 to May 6, 2026, and replacing the previous plan dated January 8, 2024. The bill maintains the existing framework for how the office responsible for the plan operates, which includes monitoring government compliance with the plan, notifying the commission of any needed modifications, and coordinating with the commission on policy direction. The office is required to annually prepare a report recommending modifications and detailing the plan's implementation at federal, state, and local levels, delivering this report to the commission before August 31. If the commission recommends a modification, they must prepare a bill for legislative approval, and any plan modifications do not take effect until approved by the Legislature. The bill specifies that it will take effect on May 6, 2026, essentially updating the timeline and administrative processes for managing the statewide resource management plan.
