It revises the benefits for the State Forester, including sick and annual leave, and removes the commission’s authority to appoint forest law enforcement officers. The bill also streamlines the process for obtaining burn permits, establishes penalties for violating fire prevention measures, and modifies procedures for seized vehicles and equipment. Finally, it repeals several existing sections of the Code of Alabama related to forest fire wardens and penalties.
