STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 08139
This resolution rejects two rules of the State Department of Lands
that went into effect in 1997. The rules allow the Department to
determine lease application fees and rental rates for submerged land
leases.
The problem with the two rules is that the State Board of Land
Commissioners can establish fees and lease charges for
noncommercial, non-navigational encroachments on submerged lands
without any legislative review, simply by adopting Department
policies or fee schedules.
By rejecting the current rules, this resolution would require the
Board to propose the actual amount of any lease application fees or
rental charges through the Administrative Procedure Act's rule
making process. This change would result in any fees or rental
charges being subject to the Legislature's review and approval
before they could go into effect.
FISCAL NOTE
No fiscal impact on the state general fund or dedicated funds.
