2023 Assembly Bill 10 Assembly Amendment 1
2023 ASSEMBLY BILL 10
2023 Assembly Bill 10 repeals the land recycling loan program. The land recycling loan program
provided financial assistance to address brownfields during the 2000s. It has not been utilized since
2008. The bill transfers the balance of funds remaining in the program to the environmental
improvement fund and specifies that current law continues to apply with respect to loan payments still
outstanding under the program.
ASSEMBLY AMENDMENT 1
Assembly Amendment 1 repeals the chapter of the Department of Natural Resources’ administrative
rules implementing the land recycling loan program. That change had been requested by agency staff at
the public hearing on the companion bill, 2023 Senate Bill 13. The amendment does not affect any of
the statutory changes made by the bill.
