What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

The Department of Natural Resources, under its current rules, provides a list

of activities that are eligible for municipal flood control grants. These activities are

listed in priority order. When DNR receives an application for a municipal flood

control grant, it must score the application based on that priority order.

This bill provides that any of the activities listed in DNR's rules are eligible for

municipal flood control grants, and clarifies that the listed activities are not in

priority order. The bill also requires DNR, when scoring applications for municipal

flood control grants, to consider the cost-effectiveness of the proposed activity. In

addition, if an application proposes to acquire and remove structures, the bill

requires DNR, when scoring the application, to consider the loss of tax base to be an

adverse impact.
