Explanation
(This amendment provides additional general fund dollars to the Department of Environmental Quality to ensure adequate funding for the agency's water and waste permitting programs. The addition of these general fund dollars addresses the anticipated funding shortfall for these programs should the current tripling of permit fee cost authority expire and no new fees be adopted.)
