Prohibits DEP from requiring certain municipalities to adopt ordinance that controls tree removal and replacement.

Summary

The bill bars the DEP from mandating that any municipality classified as Tier A under the state storm‑water rules must create and enforce an ordinance governing tree removal and replacement. It applies only to those Tier A towns, leaving Tier B municipalities unchanged. The change would undo a recent permit requirement that added the tree ordinance to the Tier A storm‑water general permit.
