AI Summary

This bill allows communities to be granted Brownfields Assessment and Remediation Funds, regardless of the participation of the Regional Planning Organization. Brownfields are abandoned or underutilized properties where redevelopment or reuse may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. This bill aims to make these funds more accessible to communities, without requiring involvement from the Regional Planning Organization, which is a government organization that provides planning and development assistance to local municipalities.
