This bill establishes a new provision allowing individuals who own land adjacent to state-owned land along the Missouri River to conduct prescribed burns on that state-owned land, provided they obtain written consent from the relevant department secretary or commissioner. The written request for consent must specify the purpose of the burn, which is to control or eradicate woody species and manage grasslands, and must include descriptions of both the individual's land and the state-owned land to be burned, as well as the proposed timeframe for the burn. The bill also stipulates that the individual must ensure adequate fire suppression resources are available and comply with existing laws during the burn.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that individuals who receive consent assume all liability for the burn, while the state is granted immunity from any resulting damages or legal actions. The bill is declared an emergency measure, indicating its immediate necessity for the support of state government and public institutions, and it will take effect upon passage and approval.
