Increases the maximum employee threshold for intermediate auction timber sale eligibility from 20 to 30 employees, where "employee" is defined as an individual working as a logger for salary or wages on a full-time or part-time basis.

Maintains the 3,000 cord maximum lot size for timber sales and requires these tracts be offered separately from standard public auction sales under section 90.101.

Preserves the 25 percent cap on tract awards to any single bidder in the first round of bidding, with an exception allowing one tract per bidder when fewer than four tracts are offered.

Establishes a verification process allowing the commissioner or competing bidders to request employee count confirmation, with the commissioner consulting workers' compensation insurance records from the commissioner of labor and industry.

Clarifies that this auction procedure is an additional alternative timber sale method and does not replace other commissioner authority to sell timber in lots of 3,000 cords or less.
