Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
As this bill largely constricts the authority of the DOH with regard to logging and
agricultural access points to the state road system, and generally lessens DOH
authority in those contexts, it is expected to be cost neutral to the DOH. As this bill lessens DOH authority with respect to logging and agricultural road access
points, no fiscal impact is anticipated.
Memorandum
Please identify any areas of vagueness, technical defects, reasons a bill would not have a fiscal impact, and/or any special issues not captured elsewhere on this form.
