Bill > HB6162

This bill amends the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act by adding Part 192, which creates a Brownfield Redevelopment Grant and Revolving Loan Program. The program allows the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy to provide grants and loans to local units of government for eligible activities, such as baseline environmental assessments, investigations, due care activities, and response activities, on eligible properties with redevelopment potential. The bill outlines the application and approval process, loan terms, reporting requirements, and other provisions to administer the program. The goal is to facilitate the redevelopment of brownfield sites and provide measurable economic and environmental benefits to local communities.
