Does SB 1010 expand ODAs authority to enter private lands for determining violations?
NO. The provisions in SB1010 for entry upon land must reflect existing state and federal law. It is ODA policy to ensure that if a complaint is made, a fair investigation is conducted. In all investigations, the landowner will be contacted. If there is reasonable cause to believe that a violation exists, and access is denied, then ODA will pursue a warrant to enter property.
