The bill amends Chapter 2-10 of the General Laws, titled "State Forests and Forestry Projects," by adding a new section, 2-10-14, which mandates the General Assembly to allocate funds in the fiscal year 2026 budget for ten additional full-time equivalent (FTE) positions within the Department of Environmental Management. The funding will also cover necessary equipment and supplies for these positions. The intent behind this addition is to enhance the department's focus and efforts on woodlands, forests, and forestry projects.

This act is designed to strengthen the state's commitment to environmental management by increasing personnel dedicated to forestry initiatives. It will take effect immediately upon passage, reflecting the urgency of bolstering resources in this area. No deletions from current law are noted in the text provided.
