Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill requires the State to pay 75% of the costs of closing municipal landfills that meet certain criteria.  It is assumed that there are three licensed municipal landfills likely to be eligible to receive such funding and that the state share for these costs would be $550,000.  Typically, state participation in costs of this nature have been paid from bond proceeds.  As no bond proceeds are available at this time, this fiscal note assumes funding from the General Fund over two years.
