Provisions
allowing a violator of an environmental law to offset up to 100% of an
assessed civil penalty by conducting a supplemental environmental project,
instead of the 80% offset in current law, may decrease future General Fund
revenue. Any additional costs to the Department of Environmental Protection
as a result of adopting the recommendations resulting from a State Government
Evaluation Act Review are expected to be minor and can be absorbed within
existing budgeted resources. |
