Bill > HB2106

This bill makes a technical correction to Section 49-117 of the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEPs), which are voluntary projects that a violator can undertake to improve the environment as an alternative to traditional penalties. The bill makes a minor grammatical change, replacing the plural verb "apply" with the singular "applies" when describing the conditions under which a Supplemental Environmental Project can be approved by the Department of Environmental Quality. The bill maintains the existing criteria for SEPs, which require that such projects must: 1) be designed to prevent similar future violations, 2) reduce the adverse environmental or public health impacts related to the original violation, or 3) decrease the overall risk to public health or the environment potentially affected by the violation. This technical correction appears to be a simple grammatical adjustment to ensure linguistic consistency in the statute without changing the substantive requirements for Supplemental Environmental Projects.
