Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Removes provisions allowing the Environmental Protection Agency to assess and collect NPDES discharge fees. Effective immediately.

 Fiscal Note (Environmental Protection Agency)
 HB 3828 would result in the loss of over $20 million per year in revenue to the State. Another $4.7 million in federal funds for Clean Water program activities would be lost due to the lack of State matching funds. The bill would cut funding for 120 positions assigned to regulate wastewater facilities in Illinois. Moreover, the Environmental Protection Agency would no longer be able to perform required permitting, inspection, and monitoring activities for these facilities. As a result, delegation of this program would be returned to the federal government.

House Amendment No. 1
Further amends the Environmental Protection Act. Requires the Environmental Protection Agency to fully refund, from moneys in the Illinois Clean Water Fund, any NPDES discharge fee that was collected on or after July 1, 2003. Effective immediately.

 Fiscal Note (H-AM 1)(IL Environmental Protection Agency)
 HB 3828 (HA #1) would result in the loss of over $38 million for Fiscal Years 2004 and 2005 and $20 million per year in revenue to the State thereafter. To date, approximately $18 million has been collected in fees for discharges under NPDES permits. The Agency's ability to refund previously collected fees would depend on the balance of funds available in the Clean Water Fund at the time the proposed legislation becomes law. Additionally, another $4.7 million in federal funds for Clean Water program activities would be lost due to the lack of state matching funds. The bill would cut funding for 120 positions assigned to regulate wastewater facilities in Illinois. Moreover, the Agency would no longer be able to perform required permitting, inspection, and monitoring activities for these facilities. As a result, delegation of this program would be returned to the federal government.

Balanced Budget Note (H-AM 1)(Governor's Office of Mgmt & Budget)
Section 10 of the Balanced Budget Note Act requires the preparation of a Balanced Budget Note for supplemental appropriation bills. Since House Bill 3828 (HA #1) is not a supplemental appropriation bill, it is not possible to complete this Note as requested.
