The Director of the Bureau of Forestry shall develop or cause to be developed a system to electronically issue permits for burning in all areas of the State using a publicly accessible site on the Internet. [PL 2013, c. 35, §1 (AMD); PL 2013, c. 405, Pt. A, §23 (REV).] The system developed under this section for electronically issuing permits must provide a fire warden with the ability to change the criteria for issuing a permit in a municipality except for times when the director imposes more restrictive criteria or a ban on the issuance of permits. [PL 2005, c. 12, Pt. U, §2 (NEW).] A person may apply for a permit to burn using the Internet or as otherwise provided in this article. When a person applies for and is issued a permit electronically pursuant to this section, a fee may not be charged. [PL 2021, c. 414, §1 (AMD).]
