HB1487

House Bill 1487 amends the Arkansas Code regarding the committee structure within the Arkansas Forestry Commission. The bill specifies the composition of the committee tasked with making recommendations to the commission on matters such as rulemaking, disciplinary issues, ethical complaints, and the evaluation of forester license applications. It mandates that three registered forester members of the commission and the University of Arkansas at Monticello representative be designated as members by the Commission Chair. Furthermore, it requires the Chair to appoint at least three registered foresters who are not currently serving on the commission to the committee. The bill also grants the Chair the authority to designate additional Arkansas-registered foresters to the committee on an ad hoc basis.
