What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill increases the amount of time an entity subject to environmental requirements has to correct violations found as part of the environmental compliance audit program administered by the Department of Natural Resources. The amount of time is increased from 90 days to 180 days for most violations and to 360 days if the correction involves a pollution prevention modification. This bill also eliminates the requirement that an entity notify DNR no fewer than 30 days before beginning an audit and the requirement that proposed compliance schedules be subject to a public notice and comment period.
This bill also requires DNR and the Department of Justice, in determining whether to pursue criminal enforcement action for violations revealed by a compliance audit, to consider whether the violator is a small business stationary source that has committed a minor violation.
