AI Summary
- Requires the State Land Commissioner to create and approve conceptual land use plans for urban state trust land, with plans updated at least every ten years and made publicly available on the department's website
- Establishes that approved conceptual land use plans become the controlling land use designation for state lands and supersede any conflicting county or municipal zoning
- Mandates creation of five-year disposition plans for state trust land in each county, identifying land projected to be sold, leased, reclassified for conservation, or zoned during the next five years
- Requires the Commissioner to complete five-year disposition plans and update conceptual land use plans within two years of the act's effective date, with written policies for future updates
- References a July 2025 auditor general report finding that the State Land Department failed to develop required five-year disposition plans since 2016 and that the urban land planning oversight committee has had all five member positions vacant since at least 2018
