An act relating to miscellaneous environmental conservation subjects

This bill requires the Vermont Secretary of Natural Resources to submit detailed reports on two environmental revolving funds and to halt transfers from the EPA Pollution Control Revolving Fund to the Wastewater and Potable Water Revolving Fund after July 1, 2024, until a comprehensive fee report and legislative authorization are provided. The legislation also mandates a report on the status of EPA revolving funds by January 15, 2024, including balances, loan amounts, and repayment data. Additionally, the bill directs the Secretary to conduct a stakeholder process to develop recommendations for a riparian protection program aimed at improving water quality and aquatic habitat, with findings due by December 15, 2023. Finally, the bill makes a minor technical correction to the state code by adding the word "it" in a specific section regarding bill signing procedures.
