The House Committee on Environmental Regulation met to hear invited testimony on the following charges:

  • Interim Charge #2 – Review the compliance practices of surface water management entities with state rules regarding the aesthetic condition of waterways and the prevention or removal of human-made floating trash and debris. Provide recommendations on how state and local authorities could coordinate to better achieve these goals.
  • Interim Charge #3 – Monitor initiatives at the local level to regulate environmental issues. Consider if legislative changes are needed to resolve ambiguous regulations regarding the priority of state or local authority.

The report below details these discussions.
