CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2017–2018 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill No. 922


Introduced by Assembly Member Dahle

February 16, 2017


An act to amend Section 4601.4 of the Public Resources Code, relating to forestry.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 922, as introduced, Dahle. Forest practices: violations.
The Z’berg-Nejedly Forest Practice Act of 1973 prohibits a person from conducting timber operations unless a timber harvesting plan prepared by a registered professional forester has been submitted for such operations to the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The act requires the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection to adopt district forest practice rules and regulations and provides that a violation of a procedural requirement that does not result in or cause environmental damage, as provided, is an infraction.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the above provision.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 4601.4 of the Public Resources Code is amended to read:

4601.4.
 (a) The violation of any a rule or regulation adopted by the board pursuant to this chapter prescribing any a procedural requirement that does not result in, or cause, any environmental damage, and is not a violation of Section 4571 or 4581, is an infraction punishable pursuant to Section 4601.5.
(b) The board shall designate those rules and regulations by section number that prescribe procedural requirements, the violation of which does not result in, or cause, environmental damage.
