What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law allows a city, village, town, or county to create an environmental

remediation tax incremental district so that the tax increments generated by the

district may be used to pay the costs of remediating environmental pollution on

contiguous parcels of property that are located in the district. For purposes of an

environmental remediation tax incremental district, “environmental pollution”

means contaminating or rendering unclean or impure the air, land, or waters of the

state, or making the air, land, or waters of the state injurious to public health,

harmful for commercial or recreational use, or deleterious to fish, bird, animal, or

plant life. This bill modifies that definition of “environmental pollution” so that it

includes substances that if released into the air, land, or waters of the state due to

the redevelopment of an existing structure would be harmful to public health or

harmful for commercial or recreational use.
