The Committee on Energy and Public Works met this afternoon.
House Bill 2942 extends the sunset on the Department of Environmental Protection’s Design-Build Program to December 31, 2027. The program did get a late start due to the rule-making process. The projects are still in the design phase but should be moving on to build soon. Without the extension, the project would finish per contract, but it would not allow for other projects.
House Bill 2943 extends the sunset for the Hazardous Waste Management Act to June 30, 2030, to allow the agency to generate the required revenue to cover state match for federal grants.
