Permits issued for the removal of native plants shall be valid only for a stated period of time to allow the permittee to remove the specific amount of plants or wood stated in the permit, or the period of time stated by the landowner as part of the landowner’s permission, whichever is shorter, but in no case for more than one year.

It is the intent of the Legislature that each permit or wood receipt shall be valid for the least period of time possible in which to accomplish the authorized purpose.
