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.
HB3269 would require DEP to assume all costs necessary for certification by a registered professional engineer and permit a privately owned dam before the secretary could recover costs for repair or remediation from the owner. This bill requires that certification costs be paid from the Dam Safety Rehabilitation Revolving Fund. This fund is currently inactive and has no revenue, or source of revenue, to cover the costs intended by this bill.
