MODERATE
This bill updates the reporting requirements for capital improvements at state harbors and parks from annual to quarterly reports to ensure more frequent oversight. It also adds a sunset clause, meaning the law will automatically expire five years after it takes effect, and clarifies that a specific existing statute will be restored when the bill expires.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on the Department of Land and Natural Resources, but the frequency of required reporting has increased, and the law's duration is now limited to a five-year period.
REQUIREMENT

Reporting frequency changed from an annual report to a quarterly report to provide more regular updates to the legislature.

TIMELINE

Added a sunset provision requiring the Act to be repealed five years after its effective date, with a specific clause to restore a prior version of a related statute.
