About this statute

Tree pruning or cutting is not a crime when the environmental agency does not give a reasoned response within 45 days to a request based on a duly certified accident risk. This law takes effect on the date it is published. Tree pruning or cutting in public streets or private property is not treated as a crime in the stated accident-risk and non-response scenario, and a qualified professional may be hired to do the work. The permit request for pruning or cutting must be accompanied by a report from a company or qualified professional.
