Concerning the direct sale of valuable materials for habitat restoration projects.
SB 5157 modifies the rules for selling valuable materials, like timber or stone, from state lands. It creates an exception to the standard public auction process, allowing direct sales of these materials up to $250,000 in appraised value for use in habitat restoration projects. To qualify, the materials must be used solely for the approved restoration project and cannot be resold or remanufactured for other uses. The state department must determine the sale is in the state's best interest, appraise the materials at market value, and collect all required fees.
