Indiana SB0067 mandates a study on the impact of public lands on public health and disaster recovery.

Indiana SB0067 requires the Department of Natural Resources to conduct a study on the relationship between access to and use of Indiana's public lands and key public health indicators. The study will explore opportunities to improve public health outcomes using public lands without creating new unfunded mandates. It will also develop a framework for mitigating natural disaster impacts on public lands, including identifying risks, creating emergency plans, and prioritizing recovery efforts.
