Summary

The bill changes California’s forest‑practice law by removing the requirement that a registered forester mark trees before a Forest Resilience Exemption can be used, and it sets new limits on temporary road construction and oak‑woodland restoration. It also adds a definition for nonprofit organizations, caps gifts to commission members at $10 per month, and creates a Coastal Access Account to fund shoreline access projects. The changes affect timber operators, foresters, local governments, and nonprofit groups, aiming to improve fire safety, protect oak habitats, and expand public coastal access.
