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 1% of the assessed value of the property up to a maximum of $15,000, starting January 1, 2018. This upfront fee rather than a cost recovered fee will result in a minor cost savings to the Uncontrolled Sites Fund within the DEP.
