Illinois SB2073 mandates the Department of Natural Resources to report annually on timber harvest fees and cost-sharing programs.

Illinois SB2073 amends the Illinois Forestry Development Act to require the Department of Natural Resources to submit an annual report to the General Assembly by March 1. The report must detail the revenue from the 4% timber harvest fee under the Timber Buyers Licensing Act, the number of agreements, total payments made, and acres affected. The bill also allows the Department to categorize forest management practices and determine cost-sharing percentages based on recommendations from the Council.
