Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill changes how the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) calculates compensation fees for land affected by certain renewable energy development projects. It also redirects the revenue from these fees: instead of going to an account with the DEP after administrative costs are deducted, the funds will be deposited into the Land for Maine’s Future Trust Fund within the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry.
