OFA Fiscal Note
No Fiscal Impact
The amendment replaces the underlying bill and its associated fiscal
impact.
Instead, it requires the Department of Energy and Environmental
Protection (DEEP) and the Department of Public Health (DPH) to study
existing categories of discharge for alternative on-site and community
sewage treatment systems, and the administrative jurisdiction for these
permits. Additionally, the amendment requires DEEP and DPH to
submit a report to the Planning and Development, Environment, and
Public Health Committees, by January 1, 2022, on the findings of the
study and any legislative recommendations. This is not anticipated to
result in a fiscal impact as DEEP and DPH have the expertise for this
purpose.
