| 16 | + | Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau |
|---|
| 17 | + | Under the environmental improvement fund, the state provides financial |
|---|
| 18 | + | assistance to local governmental units for certain projects. The environmental |
|---|
| 19 | + | improvement fund is made up of three programs: the clean water fund program; the |
|---|
| 20 | + | safe drinking water loan program; and the land recycling (brownfields) loan |
|---|
| 21 | + | program, which provides financial assistance for the investigation and remediation |
|---|
| 22 | + | of certain contaminated properties. |
|---|
| 23 | + | The bill eliminates the land recycling loan program, which has not provided |
|---|
| 24 | + | loans since 2008. Under the bill, current law provisions continue to apply to any |
|---|
| 25 | + | outstanding loans under the program that are in repayment. The bill also requires |
|---|
| 26 | + | any unallocated balance of moneys appropriated to the land recycling loan program |
|---|
| 27 | + | to be transferred to the clean water fund program and requires any moneys received |
