(a) After the commissioner issues an order under paragraph (b), a person may not possess firewood on land administered by the commissioner of natural resources unless the firewood: (1) was obtained from a firewood distribution facility located on land administered by the commissioner; (2) was obtained from a firewood dealer who is selling firewood that is approved by the commissioner under paragraph (b); or (3) has been approved by the commissioner of natural resources under paragraph (b). (b) The commissioner of natural resources shall, by written order published in the State Register, approve firewood for possession on lands administered by the commissioner. The order is not subject to the rulemaking provisions of chapter 14 and section 14.386 does not apply. (c) A violation under this section is subject to confiscation of firewood and after May 1, 2008, confiscation and a $100 penalty. A firewood dealer shall be subject to confiscation and assessed a $100 penalty for each sale of firewood not approved under the provisions of this section and sold for use on land administered by the commissioner.
