HB1001

The amendment substantially reorganizes and tightens the prescribed burning permission process by requiring landowners to obtain explicit written consent from the department secretary or commissioner before burning, and mandating that their written request specify the purpose (controlling woody species and grassland management) and include detailed descriptions of both properties and timing, rather than the original simpler notification approach. This change STRENGTHENS the state's oversight and control over prescribed burns on state-owned land by making consent mandatory and requiring more detailed planning upfront.

This change converted the bill from its engrossed committee version to its final enrolled version, adding official legislative signatures and approval pages while preserving the substantive policy allowing landowners adjacent to state-owned land along the Missouri River to conduct prescribed burns with written departmental consent. The amendment does not alter the bill's core purpose or requirements—it simply completes the formal legislative process.
