Resolution addresses the impacts of converting working lands to other uses

HCR 18: The cost of subdividing our working lands: Adopted by both houses.
This resolution requests the Natural Resources Interim Committee to study the impacts of converting working ranches, farms and forests to other uses. The resolution also asks for an examination of the need for new state policy initiatives to protect the values that such lands contribute to local economies, agricultural heritage, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities. The Natural Resources Interim Committee is encouraged to seek the views of interested groups and public on these issues.
