HB 193 (2021)

Provides that any person who negligently or recklessly causes timber to be cut on the land of another shall be guilty of trespass under the state's timber harvesting laws. According to the House Resources, Recreation and Development Committee, this bill "explicitly extends culpability to the landowner who may have provided erroneous information about property boundaries and thereby enabled the timber trespass to occur. It does not lessen the shared responsibility of the timber harvester to conduct his/her due diligence to ensure the correct location of all boundary line."
