Fiscal Detail and Notes
This legislation will result in a loss of approximately $50,000 annually to the General Fund as a result of needing to bring enforcement actions within 3 years which is the period of time that wastewater discharge licensees are required to retain records. Fiscal year 2005-06 has been adjusted to reflect the bill not being an emergency.
