Under existing law, a timber owner or the agent of a timber owner is required to secure a logging permit from the State Forester Firewarden prior to any logging or cutting operation. (NRS 528.042) Existing law defines the term “logging operation” as the commercial harvesting of trees by a timber owner or the agent of a timber owner using certain methods. (NRS 528.0175) This bill removes the requirement to secure a logging permit for a cutting operation.
