This subsection does not prohibit the maintenance of an action (1) for an alleged violation of a constitutional right; or (2) against the department regarding a regulation, standard, or systematic course of conduct that does not involve a challenge to, or attempt to enjoin, stay, modify, or otherwise affect a timber operation on private forest land subject to this chapter.

(b) The commissioner shall review and revise a forest management plan when necessary.
