What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) that holds a water pollutant discharge elimination system (WPDES) permit from the Department of Natural Resources must pay an annual permit fee of $345. Of that amount, $95 is deposited into an appropriation account for DNR's environmental quality functions and its management of state water resources, with the remainder deposited into the general fund.
Under this bill, the full amount of the $345 annual WPDES permit fee for a CAFO is deposited into the DNR appropriation account for environmental quality functions and management of state water resources.
