Preliminary Fiscal Impact Statement
Minor savings - Other Special Revenue Funds 
Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill simplifies the fee charged for assistance from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in submitting a voluntary response action plan by basing the fee on 2% of the assessed value of the property. This upfront fee rather than a cost recovered fee will result in a minor cost savings to the Uncontrolled Sites Fund within the DEP.
