Bill overview
This bill, the Western Joshua Tree Conservation Act, aims to protect western Joshua trees by regulating their removal and trimming, particularly in relation to industrial and commercial projects. It expands the Department of Fish and Wildlife’s authority to authorize tree removal and trimming, and it allows cities to delegate this authority to their local governments for commercial and industrial developments. The bill also modifies existing regulations to streamline the permitting process for removing dead trees or trimming live trees, especially when necessary for defensible space requirements, and establishes fee structures for projects that opt to pay in lieu of mitigation efforts.
