HB 3002 - DIGEST

     Declares that it is the policy of the state that:  (1) Export of unprocessed timber from lands owned by the state and its political subdivisions be prohibited to the extent required by federal law.

     (2) The state enforce that prohibition while maintaining, to the extent allowed by federal law, competitive markets for timber sold by the state and local governments, rather than allow competition for that timber to be unnecessarily restricted in ways that prevent state and local agencies from obtaining full market value for the timber they sell.

     (3) This chapter and any implementing rules adopted by the department of revenue shall be submitted to the secretary of commerce for approval under 16 U.S.C. Sec. 620c(d) (2).
