| Fiscal Detail and Notes | ||||||
| Final adoption and implementation of Chapter 881: Fees; Chemical Use in Children's Products may result in increased fees to the Maine Environmental Protection Fund in the Department of Environmental Protection to cover the cost of collecting and managing information on priority chemicals in children's products and of preparing an independent report on the availability of safer alternatives to priority chemicals in children's products. No fees would be increased until the Board of Environmental Protection names a specific priority chemical and determines what information will be required, which makes it unlikely any fees could be assessed before July 1, 2011. | ||||||
