Fiscal Note for Bill as Engrossed with:

Committee: Environment and Natural Resources
             
Fiscal Note
Future biennium revenue decrease - General Fund
Fiscal Detail and Notes
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.
