Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Currently, construction and demolition debris originating out-of-state is subject to a $2 per ton fee and the proceeds are used to reimburse municipalities for the costs of landfill closure and remediation. This bill increases the percentage of construction and demolition debris that must be reused or recycled, reducing the amount of material subject to the fee. The Department of Environmental Protection estimates that this will reduce Other Special Revenue Funds revenue by $375,000 annually beginning in fiscal year 2022-23. The bill includes a deallocation of the same amount in the funding used to reimburse municipalities beginning in fiscal year 2022-23.
	Additional costs to the Bureau of General Services in the Department of Administrative and Financial Services can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
