SB 6232-S - DIGEST
(DIGEST OF PROPOSED 1ST SUBSTITUTE)

Requires a specialized forest products permit to sell raw or unprocessed huckleberries.

Requires that the specialized forest practices permit for the sale of huckleberries: (1) May be obtained from the department of natural resources or the sheriff of any county in the state;

(2) Must contain information relating to where the huckleberries were, or plan to be, harvested, and the approximate amount of huckleberries that are going to be offered for sale; and

(3) Must include a statement designed to inform the possessor that permission from the landowner is still required prior to the harvesting of huckleberries.

Provides that possession of a specialized forest products permit does not create a right or privilege to harvest huckleberries. Huckleberries may be harvested only with the permission of the landowner and under the terms and conditions established between the landowner and the harvester.
