Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


Summarize in a clear and concise manner what impact this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government. SB464 requires DEP to promulgate rules and establish a comprehensive program for the regulation and management of source separated organic material waste. DEP would be required to hire personnel to oversee the compliance, permitting, fee collection, and possibly the training for this program. Other operating costs would be involved as well. At this time DEP does not know the number of organic composting facilities that would require permitting, therefore we cannot provide a reasonable estimate of annual revenue.
