OFA Fiscal Note
No Fiscal Impact
The amendment strikes the underlying bill and its associated fiscal
impact, resulting in the impact described below.
It requires the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection
(DEEP) to conduct a study on the need to expand the state's
environmental justice (EJ) law to provide for the ability to deny certain
applications for affecting facilities based on potential environmental
and public health stressors from such facilities. DEEP is required to
report to the legislature by January 1, 2024.
This has no fiscal impact since DEEP has expertise for this purpose.
