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.
Senate "A" replaces the underlying bill with the provisions above,
which has no fiscal impact.
The Out Years
State Impact: None
Municipal Impact: None
