OFA Fiscal Note
State Impact: None
Municipal Impact: None
Explanation
There is no anticipated cost to the state associated with the
Department of Energy and Environmental Protection establishing or
identifying a take-back program for municipal sources of
perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), as this program
was already established using $2 million of General Obligation (GO)
bond funds authorized in FY 20. Funds were fully allocated for this
purpose in July 2020. No change to debt service is anticipated as a
result of the bill, as all authorized bonds have already been made
available to the program.
Background
The Governor's proposed bond bill (SB 887) includes $1.15 million
of new GO bond authorizations in each of FY 22 and FY 23 for grants
to municipalities for the PFAS buy-back program.
