Bill Caption

Relating to the use of land in the William Goodrich Jones State Forest.


Fiscal Notes

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Bill Analysis

SB 345 would allow the Texas A&M Forest Service to use land in the Jones State Forest to demonstrate reforestation and forest management work. It would also require the forest to remain "natural, scenic, undeveloped, and open" in a manner that maintains the tree canopy cover.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action remains neutral on SB 345 because it does not significantly affect our liberty principles.
