What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law provides for a financial assistance program, administered by the

Department of Natural Resources (DNR), to fund point source pollution abatement

projects. However, no financial assistance is permitted to be provided under this

program after June 30, 1990. Current law also contains a financial assistance

program, administered by DNR, for combined sewer overflow abatement projects.

This program also has not provided financial assistance since 1990. The types of

projects funded under both of these programs are now funded through the clean

water fund program.

In addition, current law establishes a program that provides grants to repair

or replace failing private on-site wastewater treatment systems. This program,

initially administered by DNR, is now administered by the Department of Safety and

Professional Services (DSPS).

DNR has promulgated administrative rules to administer these three financial

assistance programs. This bill eliminates the administrative rules that implement

those programs.
