AN ACT ESTABLISHING A TASK FORCE TO STUDY THE ESTABLISHMENT OF VEGETATIVE BUFFERS FOR WETLANDS AND WATERCOURSES.
HB 6797 creates a task force to study establishing vegetative buffers (natural plant strips) along wetlands and watercourses. The task force will examine how these buffers could help protect wetlands and waterways, ensuring they remain resilient and continue providing community benefits like clean water and flood control. This bill directly affects state wetlands and watercourses by initiating a study of protective measures, but does not implement any new regulations or requirements. The study aims to inform future policy decisions without making immediate changes.
