Relating to: the sale of property under Department of Natural Resources jurisdiction to prevent the spread of avian flu.

AB 1032 allows the Natural Resources Board to sell state-owned lands adjacent to or within one mile of commercial egg farms. This policy change directly affects state property under the Department of Natural Resources and commercial egg farms by enabling land sales to create buffers against avian flu spread. The key provision authorizes the board to sell these specific properties without requiring additional approvals under existing statutes. The bill aims to prevent disease transmission through strategic land management, focusing on concrete property transactions rather than broader regulatory changes. It passed the legislature on February 19, 2026, and is now awaiting the governor's signature.
