2003 Minnesota Statutes

     90.02 Citation, statement of policy.  

    This chapter may be cited as the State Timber Act.  

    It is the intent and desire of the Minnesota legislature to 
 provide equal opportunity for all segments of our society to 
 participate in the sale process; and attempt to prevent the 
 purchase or acquisition of excessive volumes of the state's 
 timber resources by any one individual or corporation.  

    The Department of Natural Resources is directed to enact 
 rules to reach this objective; including provision for sale of 
 all timber species by both the informal and the auction sale 
 method; and maintaining reasonable proportions of volume in each 
 method of sale.
