House Bill No. by Representative Deshotel aims to amend current environmental regulations regarding the burning of construction debris. Specifically, the bill enacts R.S. 30:2155.2, which prohibits the Department of Environmental Quality from banning the burning of untreated, unpainted dimensional lumber. This change is intended to provide more flexibility in managing construction waste and to facilitate the disposal of certain types of lumber that do not pose significant environmental risks when burned.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Environmental Quality must amend or remove any existing rules or regulations in the Administrative Code that conflict with this new provision. This ensures that the new allowance for burning untreated, unpainted dimensional lumber is effectively integrated into the state's regulatory framework, eliminating any inconsistencies that may arise from previous regulations.
