Senate Bill 530 (as reported without amendment)

Sponsor: Senator Ken Sikkema

Committee: Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs


CONTENT


The bill would amend the Public Health Code to extend for four years, until October 1, 2003, the sunset date on permit fees for the suppression of aquatic nuisances.


Currently, the Act requires the application for a permit to be accompanied by a $50 fee for treatment of areas of at least half an acre but less than two acres, and a $150 fee for two acres or more. A fee is not required for owners of a single property treating waters abutting their property where the treatment area is less than half an acre, or for water bodies in single ownership.
