Bills moving!
We currently have 13 bills that have been passed out of the Senate and hope to have another four out of the chamber soon.
Among those bills, Senator Lisa Otondo currently has two bills that are moving through the legislature. They are:
- Senate Bill 1476, which would create the Agricultural Workforce Development Program that would help agricultural businesses hire interns through partial reimbursement of internship costs. It appropriates $275,000 to the Department of Agriculture to implement the program.
- Senate Bill 1477, which would expand and extend our existing program to remove vegetation on public lands that is hazardous for reasons that it either poses a fire hazard or a threat to our watersheds. It also helps facilitate the development of industries that make use of the wood products removed through this program. The bill appropriates $4 million in Fiscal Year 2020 to the State Forester to implement the program.
