Bill Caption

Relating to the abolishment of the used oil recycling account, deposits of used oil recycling fees, and use of the water resource management account.

Fiscal Notes

An impact of $0 through the biennium ending August 31, 2019.

The bill would make no appropriation but could provide the legal basis for an appropriation of funds to implement the provisions of the bill.

Bill Analysis

HB 3026 would abolish the used oil recycling account, using the water resource management account in place of it, including all reimbursements that would be paid out of this account. All fees and other funds directed to the oil recycling account would be funneled to the water resource management account. 

Vote Recommendation Notes

Shifting funds from the oil recycling account to the water resource management account neither uplifts nor offends our liberty principles and we remain neutral.
