Natural Resources Committee Report – Week 11, 2018

HF 2365– Conservation and recreation policies for Department of Natural Resources. 

 

FLOOR ACTION:

HF 2365 clarifies that Iowa Department of Natural Resources can enter into agreements by giving it explicit authority to do so, instead of implied authority. The bill also dissolves the Mississippi River Partnership Council and the Brushy Creek Recreation Trails Advisory Board. The Mississippi River Partnership Council has not met since 2010, and the council’s functions can be handled by other entities. The Brushy Creek Trails Board has not been active recently, and there is a shortage of interest for membership.
