Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
Summarize in a clear and concise manner what impact this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
This proposed legislation would require DEP to establish a new section to administer and manage the responsibilities specified therein, creating a significant cost to the agency. It does not, however, provide funding to offset these anticipated costs. Current projections show that the Division of Mining and Reclamation (DMR) will need additional revenue by FY2023 to maintain the existing as it stands now. The additional cost associated with this legislation will only accelerate the anticipated funding shortage for the mining program.
