No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Bill Analysis

Summary: HB 2996 would reduce the administrative burden on sludge disposal. The environmental standards would be the same, except that permits would not be subject to contested case hearings, which drastically slow down the process.

Analysis: HB 2996 removes regulations and limits government without further endangering the environment. We support HB 2996.
