Bryrant (D) on April 5, 2007, this bill resolves a conflict with federal statute that requires timber revenues from any of the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife's wildlife management areas to be used for land management activities on the lands from which they were derived, if those lands were purchased with federal aid funds.
