Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This floor amendment removes the transfer of 2 Environmental Specialist II positions and related administrative costs from the Department of Conservation to the Department of Environmental Protection.  The incremental impact compared to the committee amendment is to reverse the accounting transactions between the two agencies and that reversal is netted out in the numbers shown above.
	As amended, the bill still transfers certain permitting responsibilities from the Department of Conservation to the Department of Environmental Protection but does not transfer the resources related to the functions.  Any impact on other programs and services in the Department of Environmental Protection from taking on the additional duties cannot be determined at this time.
