AB 93 – Joint Finance Committee oversight of Stewardship easement grants

This bill provides that, before DNR may award a grant under the program to provide grants for the acquisition of development rights, it must notify the Joint Committee on Finance (JCF). If the cochairpersons of JCF do not notify DNR within a specified date that JCF has scheduled a meeting to review the proposal, DNR may award the grant. If the cochairpersons notify DNR within that specified date that JCF has scheduled a meeting to review the proposal, then DNR may award the grant only upon approval of JCF. The bill also requires DNR to furnish an annual report to the Department of Administration containing specific information about each grant awarded under the acquisition of development rights grant program during the preceding year.
