Timber rules start January 1, 2026

The law authorizes final adoption of parts of Chapter 27 only if the rule takes effect on January 1, 2026. It removes the emergency clause, so the rule cannot take effect immediately. These rules cover timber harvesting and related work in unorganized and deorganized areas. Timber businesses, landowners, and contractors should plan for the 2026 start date.
