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.
