Present law provides that the Department of Energy and Natural Resources (DENR) and all statutory entities made a part of that department by law shall begin to terminate their operations on July 1, 2024, and that all legislative authority for such entities shall cease as of July 1, 2025 unless the legislature enacts a bill authorizing the recreation of the department and its statutory entities prior thereto.

‍
Proposed law provides for the general re-creation of DENR and its statutory entities, effective June 30, 2024, for a four-year period, in accordance with the "Sunset" law. Supersedes that provision of the "Sunset" law which requires a separate bill to recreate each statutory entity within the department.

‍
Effective June 30, 2024.
