requiring the creation of a ticket to follow timber through the harvesting and production process to establish a chain of custody.

Summary

The bill mandates a standardized ticket that follows each load of timber from the moment it is cut until it reaches a mill, giving the state a way to trace its movement. It applies to commercial harvesters, landowners, foresters and mill operators, and adds notice, review and certification steps for large clear‑cuts, erosion control and work in sensitive areas. The purpose is to improve oversight of forest resources and curb misleading forestry practices.
