Second Read and Referred S Agriculture, Food Production and Outdoor Resources Committee
Summary
The bill removes the statutory limit that stops the Clean Water Commission from recommending a clean‑water fee above $5,000. It lets the Department of Natural Resources’ director optionally conduct a comprehensive review of the fee structure and submit recommendations to the commission, which can then approve a new fee schedule by a two‑thirds vote. The new fees would take effect unless the General Assembly disapproves them within a set period.
