CA AB1160

Extends the maximum effective period for sustained yield plans from 10 years to 20 years under the Z'berg-Nejedly Forest Practice Act of 1973.

Requires the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection to hold a public hearing on an approved sustained yield plan if requested by an interested party based on substantial evidence of potential noncompliance.

Allows requests for public hearings to be submitted within six months after the midpoint of a sustained yield plan's effective term.

Mandates the department hold any requested public hearing within 120 days after the request period closes.

Permits a sustained yield plan to remain effective for its full term unless the director finds in writing that implementation violates material provisions of the original approval, applicable regulations, or other legal requirements.
